Discover the best universities in Seville for studying and experiencing the city

With summer here and admission requirements published, it’s time to face one of the major crossroads of your academic career: deciding in which city you’re going to spend the next few years. If the Andalusian capital is one of your favourites, get ready; studying here’s an experience that will stay with you for life.

Moving to Seville means choosing a city full of light, with an enviable climate most of the year and a cultural heritage that leaves you speechless. But beyond its monumental beauty and the great atmosphere in areas such as Alameda or Triana, Seville is a true academic powerhouse. Every September, the city welcomes thousands of students drawn by the quality of its educational institutions.

If you’re thinking of heading south, we’ll help you get started. Here’s an in-depth look at Seville’s leading universities and the secret to setting up your base in the city.

Seville’s university ecosystem: a map brimming with options

Unlike other cities, the student scene in Seville isn’t confined to a single neighbourhood. The whole city is one big campus, but there are areas –such as the iconic Isla de la Cartuja– that have become genuine hubs of innovation and young talent.

These are the institutions you should keep an eye on:

University of Seville (US): rich history and specialised campuses

The ‘Hispalense’ is one of the oldest and most prestigious public universities in Spain. The best thing about US is that it has highly specialised campuses spread across the city.

• La Cartuja Campus: where technical and creative talent is nurtured. It’s home to the School of Engineering (ETSI) and the School of Communication. A modern, business-oriented environment surrounded by green spaces.
• Macarena Campus: just a stone’s throw from the city centre, it’s the hub of health sciences, home to the schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing.
• Other campuses: of course, the US also showcases its charm in the historic Rector’s Office building (Philology, Geography and History), the Reina Mercedes building (Science and Architecture) and the Viapol building (Law and Economics).

ESIC Business & Marketing School: the leaders of the future

If your career aspirations lie in the world of business, marketing, the digital sector or international business, ESIC’s Seville campus (also strategically located in La Cartuja) is a leading institution. Its approach is 100% practical and closely linked to the realities of the business world, making the transition into the job market much easier.

San Isidoro University Centre (CEU): avant-garde and specialisation

Affiliated with Pablo de Olavide University, the San Isidoro University Centre (located in the same area as Isla de la Cartuja) offers state-of-the-art facilities. It’s a fantastic choice if you’re looking for degrees in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, Physiotherapy, Digital Communication or Law, with a very friendly atmosphere and small class sizes.

Your new home in the south: the perfect strategic location

Getting to know the universities is key, but knowing where you’re going to live is what will shape your day-to-day life. In such a vast city, location is the key to success. You don’t want to spend the whole day stuck on a bus, missing out on hours of study (or leisure time).

That’s why the Canvas Student Sevilla Lago hall of residence has become the jewel in the crown for university students. Situated right in the heart of Isla de La Cartuja, it’s the ideal base. Take a look at the distances:

• Just a 2-minute walk from the School of Engineering (ETSI). You can literally roll straight out of bed and into class.
• Barely 13 minutes on foot to the US School of Communication.
• A 12-minute bus ride from the schools of Medicine and Dentistry, with a bus stop just a few steps from the entrance to the hall of residence.
• A few minutes’ walk from ESIC and the San Isidoro University Centre.

What’s more, its excellent public transport links mean you can easily get to any other school, library or leisure area in the city centre. An unbeatable choice for students of engineering, communications, business or health sciences.
