Tarragona University Tarragona Spain

Tarragona University, Rovira i Virgili, is the public university of the southern regions of Catalonia, with campuses in Tarragona, Reus and Vilaseca. The university tradition in the region dates back to the 16th century. In 1991, several centres merged to form a new university that bears the name of Antoni Rovira i Virgili, former president of the Parliament of Catalonia.

The region enjoys a high quality of life: a mild Mediterranean climate, sea and beaches, mountains and exceptional beauty spots such as Ebro delta, medium-sized cities with a privileged cultural legacy such as Roman Tarragona (on the World Heritage List), and modernist Reus, leisure and free-time activities to suit all tastes. Strategically located in an important communication network, the region holds the largest chemical complex in the south of Europe, one of the leading tourist sites in the continent and many relevant industries.

Nowadays, the Rovira i Virgili University has 11 centres in which 1200 teachers and researchers provide quality teaching to 12000 undergraduate and more than 300 PhD students attending a wide range of courses in all areas of knowledge: social sciences, humanities, experimental sciences, health sciences, technology.

More than 800 senior and junior researchers are involved in research at the Rovira i Virgili University, the fourth of the twelve universities in Catalonia in terms of scientific production, behind only much larger universities. Funding from competitive R+D projects and collaboration with 250 universities of 40 countries ensure a high quality of scientific production in different areas of knowledge, as biomedicine, chemistry, oenology, technology, chemical engineering, anthropology and prehistory.

Today, only a few years after its creation, the existence of the Rovira i Virgili University has transformed the economic, social and cultural life of the area. You are invited to visit it and our privileged region.
