Foreword from the Rector

Welcome to the University of Castilla-La Mancha, a public academic institution which, over the last three decades, has succeeded in be- coming one of the foremost universities in Spain.

Thanks to the incorporation of modern teaching methodologies, the use of current technology, and the close business ties UCLM has cul- tivated, which keep students and professors updated with current trends in their field, the University has become a benchmark for high quality teaching, research, and administrative management.

The purpose of this guide is to provide an overall vision of UCLM’s academic, cultural and scientific activity, as well as the other services offered throughout this academic year.

Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any information that would be of interest to you. I am confident that we will be able to build a mutually beneficial collaboration that serves both your needs and the needs of your institution as well as those of the UCLM.

Best wishes, Miguel Ángel Collado, Rector, University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain)
