University of Deusto

The University of Deusto, a HEI of over 130 years, was founded in 1886 by the Society of Jesus. It covers seven main fields of study: Business, Law, Health, Education and Sport, Theology, Social and Human Sciences and Engineering. It aims to train leaders who can combine a professional, humanist and ethical perspective through a full range of undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education programmes and it is ranked among Spain’s leading universities for its world-class teaching and top-level performance.

Deusto is a non-profit university, with more than 11,200 students, of which 465 are international coming from 77 different countries that combines a high level of internationalisation with excellence in teaching. It is remarkable for its capacity to combine many contrasting elements: local roots and global challenges, historic awareness and concerns for the future, leadership engagement and social commitment, intellectual rigour and experience-based learning, competition and cooperation, tradition and innovation. Ours is one of the 18 universities accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Education as an International Campus of Excellence since 2015. With campuses in Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastian and branches in Vitoria-Gasteiz and Madrid, its 7 faculties are characterised by their capacity for both internal and external collaborations.

The faculties are also involved in European programmes. Deusto has developed strong experience in Project Management since 1989, coordinating large projects and participating in 4 Erasmus Mundus Masters Programmes, over 100 International Research Projects, as well as 78 Erasmus+ projects, coordinating 24 of them.

The University of Deusto aims at excellence in education and achieved a significant position of international leadership for decades. In keeping with its institutional policy, Deusto has focused on creating international networks and projects, which have become increasingly important and enhanced the university’s prestige. This offers a wide range of advantages, creating opportunities to share experiences and find research, teaching and management synergies. These initiatives boost exchange between students, faculty and administration and services staff, creating an ideal environment to start up and implement international projects.
