University of Valencia
The University of Valencia is today the outcome of more than five centuries of history that have
led to the accumulation of knowledge and unique documentary treasures, making it one of the
top five Spanish universities. It ranks as the 4th Spanish university in research (source: Spanish
Foundation for Science and Technology) and 4th Spanish university, according to the Ranking
University Jiao Tong, Shanghai.
Founded in 1499, the University of Valencia has a 500 year history as a centre for knowledge,
research and culture. Today, it has become a modern European public University opened to
almost every branch of teaching, research and culture in Economics, Business, Law & Social
Science; Humanities; Basic Sciences and Engineering; Health Sciences; and Education.
Nowadays it is the second European University in incoming Erasmus students (source: European
Commission) and provides a wide range of teaching and research activities.
Faculty of Economics
The Faculty of Economics was created in 2000 by the merger of the former University School of
Business Studies (funded in 1850) and the Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences (created
in 1966).
The Faculty of Economics offers a wide range of official undergraduate degrees (6) Master
programmes (17) and Doctorate programmes (8), all of them adapted to the new regulations
covering university courses that allow the student to become the true protagonist and focus
of the learning process. These wide-ranging programmes provide an advanced education, of
specialised or multi-disciplinary nature, geared towards academic or professional specialisation
in economic and business areas.
