Selecting a university is one of the most challenging, definitive, time-consuming, and costly moments in students' and their relatives' lives. Of course, well-meaning friends, colleagues, and experts in the field will make recommendations, but ultimately it must be the students themselves who take the decision. Taking their convictions and world-views to heart, students seek to follow their calling and pursue their broadest visions as they strive to satisfy their curiosity and fire their imagination. What is best for one student, whatever their age, will not necessarily be best for another, despite apparent background similarities and comparable skills, academic records, and work experience. The decision to opt for one university instead of another will depend on, and indeed must always be determined by, one's approach to one's surroundings, sensitivities and preferences, the profession or field one may want to pursue in life, and one's role within society. All of this should be taken into account when selecting the environment where studies will be pursued. In turn, the university in question must respond in a scholarly and practical manner. Being a part of the Universidad Camilo José Cela(UCJC), be it a student, faculty, researcher, executive, or manager, is doubtless one of the most gratifying and meaningful ways of facing up to and committing to the questions posed and answers given in the 21st C. At Camilo José Cela University, we offer further education. An active education that offers the possibility of living your university life to the fullest both inside and outside the classroom, to become the professional you aspire to be. Our academic offering rests on three tenets embedded in our DNA; the combination of knowledge, cultures, and disciplines affords you the chance to share lecture halls with students from other degrees, acquire knowledge beyond your specialization, and prepare you to face the complex challenges of the 21st century. Thanks to our open educational model and approach, we stand out from other universities that are much more relevant to our lives. Our objective is to prepare autonomous individuals who can steer their professional careers throughout their lives in an independent and supportive manner in global contexts. We are aware that we are educating future professionals, which continually pushes us to evolve students' learning experiences. We accept the challenge to innovate our curriculum and redefine university education's shape in terms of transcending traditional models and synching them with the new educational paradigm, focusing on the student and their learning. University students at present neither seek nor need a conventional higher education. Traditional frameworks often restrict creativity and originality. At the same time, new generations live, interact, and learn in a changing, interconnected environment. We train our students to face the challenges inherent to a dynamic society and the professions' mutable nature through the humanities, science, and technology. We thus look for those who are ready to reflect, debate, and take on risk, both in thinking and in acting... View full university
