The past and present…
The UCO is heir to a century-old historical and cultural legacy and a passion for knowledge, tolerance, and harmony among civilizations.This reflects in the three areas of UCO
activities: Food and Agriculture, Science and
TechnologyHumanities and Legal and Social SciencesHealth SciencesThis balance is also manifested in the
quality of its teaching and research, ranking it among the top academic institutions in Spain. The UCO is one of the foremost research
institutions in Spain, further consolidated with: ceiA3 (Agrifood Campus of International
Excellence) Rabanales 21 Science and Technology
ParkIMIBIC Maimonides Institute for
Biomedical Research.
Our university is an international leader in the agrifood field, one of the institution’s main vocations.Also very relevant is the humanities sector,
in a city known worldwide for its artistic and monumental heritage.A young, dynamic university, dedicated to
research and in constant evolution, the UCO is firmly committed to the problems and needs of the community at large.As a public institution, it connects closely
with the society it serves, but is also dedicated to aiding other peoples and countries. The UCO also maintains strong ties with
the business sector, while at the same time, structuring much of its own activity around an entrepreneurial vision. Most importantly, it is an institution
committed not only to training qualified professionals, but to supporting and encouraging its students to grow as people and as citizens.
