ADDRESS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CORDOBA
PRESENTACIÓN DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE CÓRDOBA Welcome to the University of Cordoba The UCO is heir to a centuries-old historical and cultural legacy as well as a passion for knowledge, tolerance, international renown and harmony among civilizations that have made the city that houses our institution a paradigm for humanity. This equilibrium and harmony is reflected in the three areas in which the UCO undertakes its activities: Food and Agriculture and Science and Technology; Humanities and the Legal and Social Sciences; and the Health Sciences; each with its own special characteristics. This balance is also manifested in quality teaching and research, ranking it among the top academic institutions in Spain. The UCO is one of the foremost research institutions in Spain; a distinction that will be further consolidated with the creation of the Rabanales 21 Science and Technology Park and the Maimonides Institute for Biomedical Research. Our university is an international leader in the agrifood field, one of the institution’s main vocations; not to overlook the importance of the humanities in a city that is known throughout the world for its artistic and monumental heritage.
A young, dynamic university dedicated to research and in constant evolution, the UCO is firmly committed to the problems and needs of the community at large. As a public institution, it connects closely with the society it serves, but is also dedicated to aiding other peoples and countries. The UCO maintains strong ties with business and other entities, while also structuring much of its own activity around an entrepreneurial vision. Most importantly, it is an institution that is not only committed to training qualified professionals, but to supporting and encouraging its students to grow as people and as citizens.

CITY OF CORDOBA CIUDAD DE CÓRDOBA
HISTORY Córdoba is a city with an enormous cultural and monumental legacy. It’s ideal location, near to the river Guadalquivir together with the heritage of it’s different towns have made it the privileged place that it is. Córdoba is at the heart of Western history: its colossal caliph civilization, at the core in the Middle Ages, was the most brilliant in Europe in its time, a bridge between East and West. It is one of the most visited Spanish capitals by tourists, partly due to it’s prodigious patrimonial and historical legacy. Cordoba gave the Roman civilization geniuses such as Séneca the philosopher or Lucano the poet, the Córdoba califal became the most learned and brilliant city in Europe during the X century where gifted men, poets, doctors, philosophers and spiritualists lived, some as universal as the philosopher Averroes or the Jewish doctor Maimónides. No less important, the city possesses accumulated patrimony following the Christian conquest. Churches, convents, hospitals, palaces and numerous elegant houses envelop the unique jewel which is the Mosque Cathedral and make of Córdoba one of the most monumental cities of Europe. La UNESCO in 1994 recognised the universal importance of the Cordovan historical wealth, extending the title of Patrimony of Humanity not only to the Mosque - Cathedral but to the old town also.
11th European Universities Basketball Championship
Religious architecture Mosque-Cathedral: Cordoba’s Mosque-Cathedral is the most important monument in western Islam and one of the most astonishing of the world. It’s history summarises the complete evolution of omeya architecture in Spain, besides the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture of Christian construction. The place occupied by our Mosque-cathedral seems to have been, since the old days, dedicated to the cult of diverse divinities. Under Visigothic dominance, in the very site, the Saint Vicente basilica was built, on which was built, after payment for part of the site, the primitive mosque. This basilica, of rectangular floor, was shared by the Christian and Muslims during a period. As the Muslim population grew, the basilica was acquired totally by Abderraman I and destroyed for the definitive construction of the first Alhama Mosque or principal Mosque of the city. At this present time some constructive elements of the Visigothic building are integrated in the first section of Abderraman I. The great Mosque consists of two differentiated areas, the patio or sahn porticoed, where the minaret is raised (under the Renaissance tower), the only intervention of Abd al - Rahman III, and the prayer room or harem. The interior space is arranged in symbolized columns and bicolour arcades of great chromatic effect. The enclosure is divided into five areas, each one corresponding to the different amplifications fulfilled. Córdoba Synagogue (14th century) Fernandine and Alphonsine-style churches (13th century) Various monasteries and convents Walcha Cave (built in 1489) Civil and military architecture Alcázar of the Christian Kings (14th century) Palace of Viana with its flowered patios (16th century) Royal residences and palaces The Tower of Calahorra (14th century) The Door of the Bridge (16th century) The Plaza Vieja or Plaza Mayor Walls and towers of the Muslim and also Christian period
Arqueological sites Roman archaeological remains (temple, mausoleum). Islamic archaeological remains (minarets preserved in the churches, Arab baths). Archaeological site of Madinat Al-Zahra. The Roman Bridge.

10 reasons why you should study at the University of Cordoba 10 RAZONES POR LAS QUE DEBERÍAS ESTUDIAR EN LA UCO Because you will have the opportunity to study in a city immersed in history. Thanks to its cultural and monumental legacy, Cordoba was designated World Heritage City by the UNESCO in 1984 . A crossroads of diverse cultures throughout the city’s history, the splendour it achieved under the Romans and Visigoths grew with the arrival of the Muslims at the beginning of the 8th century when Cordoba became the capital of Al-Andalus; the largest and most developed city in the West. The Mosque, one of the most emblematic monuments of the city, was the greatest in the Western world under Muslim rule. Located on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, the Mosque houses a Christian cathedral. The nearby Jewish Quarter, where the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters is located, stands out for its narrow, winding streets. Because you will form part of one of the best universities in Spain and have the opportunity to study at a leading research and teaching institution. The University of Cordoba is one of the most prestigious universities in the country and a pioneer in the field of science, technology and agriculture and food. Because Cordoba is a strategically located city. Thanks to the high-speed AVE train, Cordoba is just a short journey from cities like Madrid (2 hours), Seville (45 min.) and Malaga (1 hour). Commuter trains also run several times a day between the RENFE train station in the centre of Cordoba and Rabanales Campus. Because the UCO is the first Campus of International Excellence in Andalusia. The UCO is a pioneer in the creation of a unique model of excellence for the global future of food and agriculture: the ceiA3 Campus of International Excellence. Built on a strategic grouping of five Andalusian universities (Almeria, Cadiz, Cordoba, Jaen and Huelva), the ceiA3 is an unparalleled project dedicated to food and agriculture; a basic pillar of the economy of Andalusia and a key sector driving the economic, social and political development of the region. In 2015, the ceiA3 Campus will be a national pioneer and international leader at the forefront of research and the training of experts in food production systems, food security and safety, and environmental protection through sound and sustainable agrifood practices. Because the city offers a wide range of cultural and leisure activities. Cordoba has an extensive network of public libraries and museums such as the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum; one of the largest and most interesting in all of Spain. International students can enjoy a 50% discount on tickets to performances at the Gran Teatro, while the Film Archives of Andalusia shows a wide variety of both Spanish and European films. Cordoba is also renowned for its festivals including the International Guitar Festival, the Cosmopoética poetry festival, which attracts musicians and writers from all over the world, and the Animacor animated film festival. Because we offer a wide range of programmes of study: The
UCO offers an enormous variety of programmes of study ranging from the humanities and legal and social sciences to the health sciences or science and technology – three areas equally represented by the UCO’s three main campuses: the Legal and Social Sciences Campus in the city centre, the Health Campus in the western part of the city and the Rabanales Agrifood, Science and Technology Campus to the east. The University also has a Polytechnic School located 60 kilometres from the city in the town of Belmez. For those interested in improving their Spanish and learning more about our culture, UCOIDIOMAS offers international students courses on Spanish language and culture. Because the UCO is a young, mid-sized university: With 21,000 students, more than 1200 teaching faculty and 700 employees, the UCO is a dynamic institution that has successfully adapted to the 21st-century demand for excellence in teaching and proven scientific expertise. Because you will study at one of the best-equipped universities in Europe. Most of the UCO’s scientific activity takes place on Rabanales Campus where the Veterinary Faculty, Science Faculty, Higher Polytechnic School and Agricultural and Forest Engineering School are located. The University of Cordoba is one of the best-equipped academic institutions throughout Europe thanks to the modern facilities and cutting-edge technologies available on Rabanales Campus. In addition to housing departmental offices, the campus also has other singular facilities such as the Aulario lecture hall, the Veterinary Hospital or the Juan XXIII Assembly Hall whose soaring tower overlooks the entire campus. The main library, modern sports facilities, the Lucano Residence Hall and the train station complete the list of general services available on Rabanales campus, in addition to the nearby Rabanales 21 R&D Technology Park that is currently under construction. The Reina Sofia Teaching Hospital, one of the most prestigious hospitals in all of Spain, also forms part of the UCO’s Health Campus.
