About Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
La Autónoma, as it is known in Spain, was created in 1968 as part of a reform that set up new 'autonomous' universities in Madrid and Barcelona. It quickly built a reputation for research and became known for its law, sciences and medicine. Its alumni and staff include Nobel laureate Severo Ochoa, after whom a major molecular biology centre on campus is named.
Most of the university sits on one large campus at Cantoblanco in the north of the Madrid region, with its own train station on the commuter line into the city. The campus also hosts national research institutes run with the Spanish research council (CSIC), which makes UAM especially strong in physics, chemistry, biology and materials science. Medicine is taught at a separate campus next to La Paz university hospital.
