Universidad de Malaga

Established in 1972, the University of Malaga (UMA) is a Spanish public university. The history of the University of Malaga begins in 1968 with the creation of the Association of Friends of the University of Malaga, which pushed for the creation of a university in Málaga, the only city of over 300.000 inhabitants without a university in Europe. The University of Malaga, together with the University of Seville, make up the Campus of International Excellence “Andalucía Tech”, which works in leading areas of research and knowledge transfer, and maintains strategic alliances with more than 150 companies. Innovation, dynamism, and internationalization are the key principles on which UMA’s history is based, as well as its basis to overcome current difficulties and reinforce its duty to knowledge, society and the future.
