Dear students, I warmly welcome you to Camilo José Cela University as we begin a new academic year in which we are also celebrating our 25th anniversary. Since the university was founded in 2000, we have spent the past 25 years shaping committed professionals and responsible citizens. To mark this occasion—alongside the many other moments that make up our university life—we have prepared a full calendar of activities and projects, and we look forward to your participation and that of our entire university community.
Over the years, we have grown as an institution guided by a clear vision: bringing together humanism and technology to tackle the challenges of a constantly changing world. Our educational model blends the traditions of higher education with cutting-edge innovation, consistently placing the student at the centre.
Along the way, we have built strategic partnerships with leading institutions, including Amazon Web Services, HM Hospitales, ELLE Education, the Spanish Football Federation, and the newspaper El Español. These agreements broaden your learning opportunities and bring you closer to a professional environment that is both dynamic and of the highest standard.
Thanks to this approach, Camilo José Cela University is ranked, according to the latest BBVA Foundation report, as the third university in Spain for graduate employability. We stand out for our close ties with industry, our practical approach to learning, and our academic innovation—all key factors in our strong performance in the rankings.
I encourage you to make the most of every opportunity the university has to offer: your lecturers, your classmates, the projects, and our many institutional initiatives. Here, you will find a space for learning, innovation and culture that will help you grow both professionally and personally. I wish you a year filled with discovery, shared effort and personal achievement.
Welcome to Camilo José Cela University.
Jaime Olmedo
Rector of Camilo José Cela University
