Bilbao University of Deusto (Universidad de Deusto)
University Information, Campus and History
(Bilbao, Spain)
The Bilbao University of Deusto was founded in 1886. It was built to serve two purposes: to give the Basque Country its own university, and to accommodate the pursuit of the Jesuits to establish an institution of higher learning in this part of Spain.
The commercial city of Bilbao (famous as a seaport) was chosen as the location, as it was experiencing considerable industrial growth during the time. The city had more than a million residents and a bustling metropolitan atmosphere. It was (and still is) one of the most strategic harbours, making it the centre of trade and finance in the Basque Country and throughout Northern Spain. It also has a very rich history, and is popular for its old buildings reminiscent of the Old Town Bilbao of Casco Viejo.
The Bilbao University of Deusto was the first university in Spain to offer a degree in Economic Sciences. In fact, it produced its very first batch of economists in 1916 - a quarter of a century before the degree was even officially recognised by Spain's academic community. In the earlier part of the 1960's, the Bilbao University of Deusto took in the Institute of University and Technical Studies of Guipuzcoa in San Sebastian as one of its campuses.
The university now has more than 1,300 students and about 50 faculty members. The Bilbao University of Deusto has a reputation for strictly following time-tested European modules while allowing for combined curricular designs, cross-border activities, and even integrated languages. The European credit system was adopted by the Bilbao University of Deusto some ten years ago, making it the first European higher learning institution to extend European credits to its faculty. The university has since been promoting the system and improving its quality.
The Bilbao University of Deusto is also famous for offering curriculums that harp on social topics such as distribution of resources, interdependency, human rights, migration, poverty and environment, development, society and ethics. The university also offers programs on cultural identity and European integration.
The university currently has seven faculties (colleges) offering allied programs:
- Faculty of Law
- Faculty of Philosophy and Arts
- Faculty of Philosophy and Education Sciences
- School of Tourism (Bilbao)
- Faculty of Economics and Business Administration
- Faculty of Theology
