UCAM Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia

UCAM (Universidad Católica de Murcia) is a private university founded in 1996 with a clear mission: to train students with knowledge and skills to serve society, to contribute to the further expansion of human knowledge through research as an integral part of the development of man and mankind and to participate in the evangelical mission of the Catholic Church in the areas of education and culture.

Person to Person, Face to Face

UCAM students can count on personalized attention that fits their needs. The staff at the UCAM value the personal relationship in the context of learning, which is why each student is given a personal tutor and classes with a small number of classmates. The variety of the academic programs on offer, constantly adapting to the real needs of society and recognized by the European Higher Education Area, reflects this core guideline: each student is a reason for UCAM to continue its work of striving for perfection.

Learning in Action

The Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia empowers students to develop their own real-world skills. The campus’s top class infrastructure, labs, and studios together with the practical subjects on offer will get students ready to put the knowledge they acquire into action. Every student has to complete an internship in public or private institutions where they will have a taste of their future field of expertise. UCAM provides more than 90 research groups which work in close collaboration with enterprises such as Coca-Cola, Danone, Vodafone or Siemens.

More than knowledge, Values

As a Catholic institution committed to the Church, UCAM does more than provide top quality education. The transmission of values is a pillar of this university and is what make the difference to the future of our students: they will not only become great professionals but they will also develop a strong personal ethics and empathy. UCAM’s formation is integral, comprehensive and provides extensive opportunities for personal development through volunteering opportunities, congresses, seminars, research projects and religious services.
