Universidad Pontificia Comillas: Prestigious education in a multicultural environment

Studying abroad is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture, learn new languages and meet new people. Madrid is one of the cities chosen by many students every year thanks to its multicultural, vibrant life and great higher education options.

Universidad Pontificia Comillas is a Catholic University founded in 1890 by the Society of Jesus. The society runs over 200 universities around the world and they are clearly committed to supporting their students to value and learn from other cultures.

They believe in preparing individuals that are responsible for their society with ethical and social values that are going to assist them in their professional and personal lives. “We focus on the individual and their integral development. We of course want them to learn the necessary skills for their studies, but we also want to help them to prosper as a person: being able to work as part of a team, develop their communication, leadership, entrepreneurial skills and to be willing to serve society and others.” says Antonio Obregón, vice chancellor of academic organisation and teaching staff of the university.
