About Complutense University of Madrid
Complutense is Spain's most historic university. It traces its roots to a general school founded in Alcalá de Henares in 1293, grew into the Universitas Complutensis in the late 15th century, and moved to Madrid in 1836. For long periods it was simply 'the' university of the Spanish capital, and its alumni include Nobel laureates, prime ministers and many of the country's leading writers, scientists and judges.
Today it is a very large public university with faculties across two campuses. Its strengths are law, medicine and health sciences, economics and business, political science, psychology, physics and chemistry, and the humanities. The main Moncloa campus is a leafy university city in north-west Madrid, next to the Spanish prime minister's residence.
