The University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), is the academic institution of higher education and research of reference in the autonomous community that has given it its name for almost four decades.

With campuses in Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo, and offices in Almadén and Talavera de la Reina, the University of Castilla-La Mancha is a young, modern, dynamic and competitive university, committed not only to preparing students for the exercise of professional activities, but also with their full and comprehensive training. Generator and transmitter of knowledge, science, technology and innovation, the UCLM is closely committed to its territorial environment and its socioeconomic development, which is why companies also find in their research offer a wide catalog to optimize their possibilities in terms of research, development and innovation (R + D + i).

With an international vocation and with a firm step towards the digital transition, but without forgetting that we are a face-to-face university, we promote culture, sports and social and environmental commitment. On our way we are guided by solidarity, sustainability, transparency and the promotion of equality.
