Universidad CEU- Cardenal Herrera

CEU Cardenal Herrera University – Tradition, Innovation, and a Global Vision in the Heart of the Valencian Community

A pioneer in private higher education, CEU Cardenal Herrera University stands as a hallmark of academic excellence and innovation in the Valencian Community. Founded nearly 50 years ago, it was the region’s first non-state university and continues to lead with foresight and purpose. Known for launching some of the region’s most prestigious programs—including Pharmacy, Journalism, and Veterinary Science—CEU UCH has consistently anticipated the academic needs of the future.

Its profoundly international orientation sets it apart: with students from over 90 countries, more than a third of the student body is international, reflecting a vibrant, multicultural learning environment. Across its three campuses—Alfara (Valencia), Castellón, and Elche—the university offers a comprehensive academic portfolio of 20 undergraduate degrees and more than 60 postgraduate programs, delivered through four faculties and a college.

As part of the San Pablo CEU Foundation, Spain’s largest private educational institution, the university remains rooted in the values of Christian humanism, placing personal development and service to society at the core of its mission. CEU UCH combines rigorous academics with a strong emphasis on employability, innovation, entrepreneurship, and global engagement—making it an institution of choice for students seeking a future-oriented, values-driven education.
