CEU Cardenal Herrera University, Valencia Campus

[EduCativ]

With almost 50 years of experience behind us, we were the first non-public University established in the Comunitat Valenciana, the Valencia region. The University, privately run but at the general public's service, has always stood out for its pioneering character, achieving several 'firsts.' The first University in Valencia offered programs in areas such as pharmacy, journalism, and veterinary medicine. The first to offer dual degrees. The first to establish the role of the personal university tutor. The first to offer professional development grants during degree studies. The first to establish a new understanding of what a university should be.
An innovative development strategy has turned CEU UCH into the most international University in the region. More than a quarter of students at the University are from abroad (26%), and the University has a clear focus on preparing our students for today's globalized world. Today, we have students from more than 70 countries on campus. Another first.
The CEU Cardenal Herrera University has three campuses: Castellón, Elche, and Alfara del Patriarca (Valencia). It is an innovative university which offers 20 Bachelor's Degree programs (grades) and more than 60 postgraduate programs at the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, the Faculty of Law, Business and Political Science, the Technical School of Design, Architecture, and Engineering (ESET), and the Faculty of the Humanities and Communication Sciences.
The University forms part of the Fundación Universitaria San Pablo CEU – the CEU San Pablo University Foundation. The Foundation is the largest privately-owned educational institution in Spain and the only one which operates three universities. Our view of education derives from Christian humanism values, which form the basis of our vocation for a personalized approach to education, which can be most clearly seen in our tutoring and integration programs.
These values drive our commitment to society, which can be seen in our wide-ranging grant programs and pioneering academic volunteering initiatives and community services at both a national and international level. They also form the basis of our involvement in encouraging valuable research to take place. In both technical and human terms, this research contributes to the improvement of the society in which we live.
These values are our values because the Foundation was established by the Asociación Católica de Propagandistas (ACP). In the 20th century, this association, founded by lay Catholics, established essential media companies and the Spanish charity organization Caritas España. This group of people played an essential role in Spain's peaceful political process in its transition to becoming a democratic country. The association consists of a group of committed, proactive people who have undertaken a series of not-for-profit educational initiatives to improve society.
