University of Seville
University Information, Campus and History
(Seville, Spain)
The University of Seville is a public university located in Seville, Spain. Dating back to the late 15th century, it is one of Spain's largest educational institutions, as well as one of the oldest. Its long history has placed it at the forefront of Spanish culture and made it a central part of Seville's way of life.
The city's university was founded by the Archdeacon Maese Rodrigo Fernandez de Santaella under the name Colegio de Santa Maria de Jesus (School of the Blessed Mary of Jesus). In 1505 a papal bull of Pope Julius II granted it authority to teach theology, philosophy, law, medicine and arts. It was at first unable to keep up with the standards of the already established Universities of Salamanca and Alcala until it was confirmed as a practising university via a papal bull in 1955.
Today, the University of Seville is home to over 75,000 students. It is one of the leading research institutions in Spain, widely acclaimed for its vital contributions to science and technology research and its commitment to the highest quality of public service. It has also hosted the main database for the Spanish version of Wikipedia.com, a free online encyclopedia, since March 2002.
