We strive for excellence in the academic and personal spheres, and to train the most qualified professionals who are, at the same time, people with profound human qualities.
Mission and objective
Our degrees are leading references in the Spanish academic field. At our Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Comillas CIHS), you will have the opportunity to take degrees and dual degrees backed by our solid academic prestige: Criminology and Social Work; Early Childhood Education and Primary Education; Philosophy; Philosophy, Politics and Economics; Psychology; Psychology and Business Administration and Management [ADE]; Psychology and Criminology; International Relations and Global Communication; Social Work; Translation and Interpreting and Language Technologies. Our faculty has pioneered the introduction of many of these degrees in our country; and several of them are offered as dual degrees in different academic combinations.
Our students are defined by both very high academic achievement and integral personal development. This is achieved thanks to a proven selection process, teaching in small groups, based on close attention to the student, and a careful and constant tutorial accompaniment.
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is located on the Cantoblanco campus of Comillas Pontifical University. Our students carry out their daily activities in a modern campus with large green areas and sports facilities just 20 minutes from the centre of Madrid. Cantoblanco has an advanced library, multimedia classrooms, a state-of-the-art videoconferencing room, interpreting internships, a language laboratory and a recording studio, as well as services such as a bookshop and reprographics, a cafeteria and a restaurant.
Grants and financial aid
The University, as an institution of the Catholic Church at the service of society, offers scholarships and grants in various forms to its students, in order to contribute to the cost of education and to promote equal opportunities according to the individual needs of each student.
International Network
The graduates of the future need an international experience, both educationally and socially. Our students have the exciting opportunity to carry out part of their studies at renowned foreign universities, assuring them that Comillas' academic and comprehensive training will be strengthened and consolidated.
