The University of Granada (UGR) was founded in 1531 by Emperor Charles V. After this, Granada was established as a university city, open to all peoples, cultures, creeds and ideologies. Throughout the centuries, the University of Granada has seen its influence grow not only in the social and cultural scene of the city but also at a national and international level. Today, the University of Granada is the 3rd largest University in Spain in student population, and one of the principle universities in Spain and Europe in infrastructure and research. Its rich tradition is reinforced continually with a firm commitment to the future, innovation and quality, a combination that makes it a center for all fields of learning.

University of Granada Schools are located in the city of Granada as well as the cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
