Universidad Carlos III
University Information
The public Universidad Carlos III de Madrid enrolls over 22,000 undergraduate and graduate students across its four campuses. Getafe, 40 minutes away from Madrid by train, is home to the university’s main campus and its School of Law & Social Sciences and School of Humanities, Communication, and Library Science. A broad range of liberal arts coursework is offered with a special emphasis on the Social Sciences. UC3M’s program in Economics is ranked number one in Spain by the 2021 QS World University Rankings by Subject. Students interested in STEM fields can register for courses at the university’s School of Engineering in Leganés, a 30-minute bus ride from Getafe and 40 minutes from Madrid.
Program Information
Students take a required language course at Middlebury’s Sede Prim and can enroll in two or three courses at UC3M. Students who choose to take two courses at the university will also take one content course at the Sede Prim. While students can take courses on both the Getafe and Leganés campuses, we recommend that students choose to take all of their courses on one campus.
