The University of La Laguna, whose central office is located in the Tenerife city for which it is named, carries out all of the activities assigned to it by law throughout the archipelago. According to its statutes, the University of La Laguna is a public institution that is a legal entity with its own capital resources, acting independently in accordance with the Spanish Constitution and Law and whose purpose is to provide higher education as a public service. Its activity is founded on the principle of academic freedom which allows professors to teach what they see fit and researchers to carry out studies and research that respect the Law, while at the same time guaranteeing the freedom of speech, the right to spread knowledge and artistic, humanistic, scientific and technical production and creation.
Pursuant to the organic law regulating universities the University of La Laguna is democratically organised so as to ensure that its governance and that of the different centres includes the participation of the different sectors that form the academic community. Today the University of La Laguna has 25,000 students, 1,700 professors and 800 administrative and service employees.
Two hundred years after it was founded the University of La Laguna continues to be a point of reference in the Canarian community and also reaches out to the world across the Atlantic. Currently this public institution is made up of more than 26,000 people, between the student body, the teaching staff and the administrative and service employees.
The university offers 56 official undergraduate and graduate degrees divided in 28 licenciaturas (a four or five year degree offered in Spanish universities), 16 diplomas (a three year degree), a technical degree in architecture, 6 technical engineering degrees, and 5 engineering degrees. In addition, there are various postgraduate degrees including 41 masters (postgraduate degrees requiring a minimum of 500 class hours) and expertos (postgraduate degrees requiring a minimum of 250 class hours) and 33 doctorate programmes in all different fields, five of which have received the Seal of Excellence from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science.
