Comillas Pontifical University

Comillas Pontifical University is a Jesuit higher education institution located across several sites in Madrid. The main campus sits on Alberto Aguilera street, while additional facilities operate in Cantoblanco and other areas of the city, including dedicated nursing and physiotherapy centers.

Pope Leo XIII founded the seminary in 1890 in the northern Spanish town of Comillas in Cantabria, where it remained for several decades. The institution moved its operations to Madrid in 1969, evolving into a multi-faculty university.

Students gain access to internship programs through partnerships with numerous companies across Spain. Most graduates find employment within six months of completing their studies.

The institution brings together the ICAI and ICADE institutes under one roof, which focus on engineering and law respectively. Together, seven faculties and schools offer more than 110 different degree programs.
