The Universidad Católica San Antonio, also known as the Universidad Católica de Murcia (UCAM), is a private university in Murcia, south-eastern Spain.

Murcia’s climate, food, rich Spanish culture, and Mediterranean weather are just some of the attractive pulls of the area – and let’s not forget about fiesta, tapas and flamenco.
It’s a midsize region (1.5 million inhabitants), offering affordable living costs, a safe environment, and modern infrastructure.

The university offers a number of international Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees, PhD programs and intensive language courses throughout the academic year and summer. The school boasts good graduate employability prospects, and is best known for its multicultural campus, programs offered and its infrastructure.

Teaching is usually conducted in Spanish, but there are several programs taught completely in English, including Business, Tourism, Sport Sciences and Health Sciences (Bachelors, Masters and PhDs).
UCAM also has a Language school that teaches different language programs such as French, German, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian and sign language.
