Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA)

In 1987 the Parliament of Navarra approved the creation of the Universidad Pública de Navarra and undertook to finance it with the aim that the new university should extend the number of degree courses on offer and bring together the university-level courses that were being taught in a number of public centres at the time.

The Campus now covers 260,000 square metres, plus a Site for Agricultural Practical Work and Research, sports facilities and a Plant Biotechnology Centre. The UPNA has over 8,000 students, and the new Campus in Tudela will open in the 2008-2009 academic year. In total, the University offers 27 undergraduate degrees and several postgraduate courses.

The University also runs the Health Sciences building in the hospital complex of Pamplona with a Department of the same name and a University School of Health Studies.

There are 22 departments in the Universidad Pública de Navarra. Consult the information on its research activities for 2000-2007.
