Self-assessment

Find out if Universidad de Deusto is your ideal university

Deusto usually suits students who are looking for a university with tradition, values, community and an authentic international profile. If you're interested in a serious academic environment, with a campus experience in the Basque Country and strong options in business/law and social areas, it's a very solid candidate.

This university is for you if…

  • You're drawn to a university with a Jesuit identity and a focus on skills + values.
  • You want to have a campus experience in Bilbao or San Sebastián.
  • You're interested in a profile with prospects: business, law or international routes.
  • You value a genuinely international environment.
  • You're looking for a serious, structured university, without a massive/anonymous atmosphere.

This university is not for you if…

  • You only want a big-capital experience like Madrid or Barcelona.
  • You prefer a massive, very anonymous university with little community identity.
  • You're not interested in the international side or in academic/professional networking.
  • You're looking for a very relaxed academic pace or one with minimal demands.
