Background, orientation and purpose
Profiles: Sweden
University of Deusto:
The University of Deusto is one of the most distinguished and prestigious academic institutions in
Spain, with campuses both in Bilbao and San Sebastián. Its tradition of academic excellence in
teaching and research has already gone beyond our borders due to the student exchange programmes
and credit transfer system in which our university takes part. The University of Deusto, first opened in
1886, was founded due to both the Basque Country's desire to have its own university and the Society
of Jesus' wish to move its School of Higher Studies in La Guardia (Pontevedra) to a more central
place.
Despite all these changes and development, the University of Deusto has always remained faithful to
its original principles since its foundation. The academic quality, especially in education, responsibility
and discipline, as well as the endeavour to achieve a comprehensive training of persons has required a
continuous and not always easy selection of both teaching staff and students.
Institute of leisure Studies
The Institute of Leisure Studies was created in 1988 as a part of the Faculty of Philosophy and
Sciences of Education of the University of Deusto, after a long maturing and definition process. Its
main objectives are research, training and information based on issues related to leisure and its
numerous contexts (Culture, Tourism, Sports, Health, Amusement and Personal and Community
Development).
Since its foundation, the Institute has developed a concept of leisure which is open to any present or
future perspective, and regarded as a framework for human development within a social commitment.
The Institute has always been open to the international character of the leisure concept, which entails
the recognition of the universal character of certain present-day human problems and implies the
support of a kind of studies without academic tradition. This international aspect is evident in its
programme of studies, teaching staff, coexistence of students and student exchanges, use of
bibliographical sources and the carrying out of transnational studies.
