About University of Navarra

The University of Navarra, founded in 1952, is a privately-funded university. The University of Navarra has four campuses with the main campus located in the Ibeata District – “the University Area of the City” which is based at the southeast border of Pamplona, Spain. 

The University of Navarra promotes academic research in different fields of knowledge to further teaching and also as a way to bring knowledge to society and contribute to innovation and development.

The University of Navarra's educational mission is aimed at providing its students with a comprehensive education. This implies an education not only in knowledge, but also in values, skills and habits. The University of Navarra's commitment to providing international quality training is based on the cornerstones of an excellent academic staff, internationalization and innovation in education. It currently offers 42 undergraduate programmes and 25 Master’s programmes, and has around 1,900 professors and lecturers and 14,000 students.

The University contributes to students' education through personalized mentoring, with activities aimed at acquiring professional competences and personal habits that stimulate personal development in all of its dimensions: cultural, artistic, religious, athletic and solidarity. In 2008, the ratio of teacher to students is one to five.


About Pamplona

Located on the outskirts of the Pamplona, a city of approx. 200,000 inhabitants, the Pamplona campus covers almost about 1/2 mile square, and includes nearly 30 buildings, which are distributed so as to favor the academic and human environment. Pamplona is not a very big city, everything is within walking distance. It’s almost better not to have a car because it can be difficult to find parking. The network of city buses, known as ‘Villavesas’, is extensive and the traffic of buses on all routes is frequent.

In Pamplona, you will discover a fascinating mix of the old and the new.The imposing Neo-Classical façade of the Cathedral, for example, gives way to a striking Gothic interior. The Citadel, a defensive fortress built on the orders of Philip II, is today a beautiful park for which Pamplona is famous and many of the town’s inhabitants go for a stroll in its grounds every day. What were once the cannon posts and armory of a military fort today form part of the cultural life of Pamplona.
