About the university
Camilo José Cela University is a private university in the Madrid area and part of the SEK Education Group, which UCJC says has more than 130 years of experience in education.
UCJC teaches health, sport, engineering and science, education, and communication and humanities. Some degrees mix Spanish and English: the Bachelor's in International Relations, for example, is taught in Spanish and English with English immersion. Others, such as Computer Engineering, are taught in Spanish.
UCJC highlights its own figures of 98% employability and more than 300 agreements with organisations. Master's can be taken on campus, semi-presential at the Madrid campuses, or online.
Because UCJC shows fees only through an online price checker, ask admissions for the 2026–27 or 2027–28 fee for your programme before applying.
