ABOUT CEU UNIVERSITIES

The CEU Universities are located in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona. CEU is the largest private educational group in Spain and the only one with three universities in its organization. With over 80 years of experience, CEU guarantees a unique experience as it is the only academic institution that offers education to students ranging from 3-year-old children to influential executives at its 25 centres.

CEU provides a comprehensive education in line with its Christian Humanism values. Our inherent values speak to our commitment to providing a personalized educational experience that includes tutoring and integrated programmes. These values drive our commitment to society through an extensive scholarship programme and pioneering academic volunteer initiatives around the world. These values have also translated into research which has contributed to the professional and humanist evolution of our society today.

Inspired by the values of Christian Humanism, CEU offers our students a comprehensive education that is guided by freedom and tolerance as well as the firm belief that the world needs clear ideas and principles that can contribute to academic debate, enriching the university experience. CEU is involved in issues around the world and firmly believes in the need to improve the lives of our fellow citizens. CEU is not for students whose only goal is to find work upon graduation. Instead, it is the perfect place for students who seek to be the best versions of themselves.

ACADEMIC OFFERING:

All CEU degrees have 5 things in common:

  • Educational Innovation: Yesterday’s lectures just won’t cut it today.
  • Applied Research: We need to learn, advance and discover.
  • Transversal Skills: Leadership training, becoming a convincing speaker, time and stress management, providing necessary and useful information.
  • International Perspective: The world is getting smaller and smaller every day.
  • Focus on Employability: Knowledge and actions are everything. You need to learn to bring out your best in both your professional and personal lives.
