Universidad de Sevilla
The University originated in late 15th century as the School of Blessed Mary
of Jesus (Colegio de Santa María de Jesús), founded by Archdeacon Maese
1
Rodrigo Fernández de Santaella. In 1505 a papal bull of Pope Julius II
allowed it to teach degrees in Theology, Philosophy, Law, Medicine and Arts.
In 1551 the city council granted a General Study Centre (Estudio General)
which enabled the School to become officially a university. There are now
over 70,000 students over a number of campuses. The Escuela Universitaria
de Estudios Empresariales is located in the centre of Seville. It provides
Diplomas in Business and in Tourism. In 2003/2004 a Business Diploma in
English was introduced. A number of modules are therefore taught in English.

Location
Seville is the artistic, cultural, and financial
capital of southern Spain, irrigated by the river
Guadalquivir. It is the capital of Andalusia and
of the province of Sevilla and ranks as the
fourth-largest metropolitan area of Spain. The
city sits well inland, but a mere 6 meters above
sea level.
Andalucia was occupied by Moors for about 800
years but Seville was a cultural centre long
before. The fertility of the land and its climate with mild winters and about
3000 hours of sun per year (in August temperatures can reach 47°C) made
Phoenicians and Carthaginians settle here. Later came the Romans, and two
of its emperors, Trajan and Hadrian, in fact were born here. Seville was long
an important sea port, prior to the silting up of the Guadalquivir. Today the
city is an important conference and business centre for southern Spain.
