Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) was established by an Act of the Spanish Parliament on 5 May 1989, within the University Reform Act of 1983. It was intended to be a relatively small, innovative, public university from the outset, providing teaching of the highest quality and focused primarily on research. Our first Chancellor was Professor Gregorio Peces-Barba.
The mission of Carlos III University of Madrid is to contribute to society's improvement by teaching the highest quality and cutting-edge research in line with stringent international guidelines. The University aspires to excellence in all its activities to become one of Europe's top universities.
The University actively encourages the personal development of all those connected to the higher education community. All our activities are guided by merit, ability, efficiency, transparency, fairness, equality, and respect for the environment.
