The University of Navarra, which is one of Spain’s most famous institutions and is situated in Pamplona, has a notable history of both teaching and research. a strong Catholic spirit is present at this private, non-profit university. Josemara Escrivá de Balaguer, the founder of Opus Dei, established the private, non-profit university in 1952 to spread the values of the movement. Currently, there are about 11,000 students enrolled across four main campuses in the north-eastern Spanish city, with about 8,700 of them being undergraduates. It began as a law school but has now expanded to include 14 faculties, two university schools, 17 institutes, a business school, and other centres and organisations. The university offers more than 120 degrees, but theology is a required subject in every class. Additionally, Navarra hosts a variety of events that are open to all academicians interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church or receiving pastoral care from the chaplains in an environment that respects their right to practise their religion. The university also conducts world-class medical research in four primary areas: oncology, neuroscience, cardiovascular sciences, gene therapy, and hepatology. It also has a teaching hospital where about 2,000 competent professionals care for more than 100,000 patients annually. Philosopher Leonardo Polo, physicist Pedro Miguel Etxenique, and former UK transport secretary Ruth Kelly are just a few of its well-known past students. Its mission is broadly defined as the pursuit of truth; contribution to the academic, cultural, and personal development of its students; promotion of academic research and healthcare activities; and provision of appropriate opportunities for the staff’s professional growth. All of these activities are carried out in a setting that values outreach with a focus on providing assistance.
