Universidad Complutense De Madrid | Spain

Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) is one of the oldest universities in the world and the top public university in Spain. The university is located on a sprawling campus that occupies the entirety of the Ciudad Universitaria district of Madrid, with annexes in the district of Somosaguas in the neighbouring city of Pozuelo de Alarcón. Universidad Complutense de Madrid has throughout its history played a major role in the political development of Spain. The University's graduates have been members, at either Congressional or Ministerial level, in all of the governments of Spain since the Enlightenment, and their positions in the Second Spanish Republic and the post-Franco transition to democracy were particularly notable. Universidad Complutense de Madrid has also played host to some of the most significant figures of the intellectual world, with a long tradition of visiting professors amongst which feature some of the greats of world academia (most notably, Albert Einstein).
