A University on its way towards excellence The University of Oviedo was founded in 1608 by Archbishop Fernando de Valdés Salas. Throughout its 400 years of history, the academic institution has been constantly growing and cementing its roots in the region.Since its foundation, the Historic Building (located in the city centre, where Arts, Law, and Theology were taught) hosts a historic and cultural legacy that has its turning point towards the end of the 19th century.At that time, the Group of Oviedo creates the Extensión Universitaria (University Extension), which would have a remarkable impact on the first decades of the 20th century. The ‘OctoberRevolution’ in 1934 set a turning point in the history of the University, as the bibliography, many archives, and works of art were destroyed. After this event, a difficult period was started in order to recover more than 300 years of history. These efforts did not conclude until the 1940s. Clearly, the 20th century is a foothold for the University and its integration in the regional territory. The academic needs run in parallel to the growth of the teaching institution: the University is provided with new buildings in Oviedo and also in other Asturian locations(Gijón and Mieres). In the second half of the last century the university keeps growing on the basis of the increase in the number of students. The degrees offered in Oviedo are taught in several campuses scattered in the city, whereas in Gijón and Mieres the new campuses have been specialized by offering courses on particular fields. In November 2009, the University of Oviedo was awarded with the Campus of International Excellence, a public call promoted by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Innovation in the framework of the Strategy 2015. This initiative was intended to improve the teaching and research quality of Spanish universities in order to place them in the best international rankings. The University of Oviedo was awarded with the Campus of International Excellence with its project Ad Futurum. From the 17thto the 21stcentury: Looking Back,Looking Ahead. This proposal has been supported by the whole Asturian society, with more than 200 companies and institutions integrated in the project. The keystones of Ad Futurum are internationalization, talent acquisition, improving quality in teaching and research, promoting entrepreneurship, optimizing knowledge transfer and developing sustainable campuses that are environmentally-friendly and integrated in the territory. These objectives are intended to promote and stimulate the business sector in the region. The University of Oviedo has adapted all its programmes to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). In addition, it has started an organization process of its centres in order to group related degrees and promote a more efficient management. As long as internationalization is concerned, the academic institution has signed more than 30 agreements with foreign universities in the last year and it has opened new collaboration channels in the fields of teaching and research. To foster the international dimension of the institution and attract international students and lecturers,the University is aimed at promoting bilingualism in degrees and graduatecourses. Our main goal is that the University of Oviedo improves its position in the international rankings, becoming an attractive institution for international students and lecturers at the same time it contributes to generate wealth by means of a more effective and optimized cooperation with the business sector.

　　一所迈向卓越的大学奥维耶多大学由大主教费尔南多·德·瓦尔德斯·萨拉斯 (Fernando de Valdés Salas) 于 1608 年创立。在其 400 年的历史中，该学术机构一直在不断发展并巩固其在该地区的根基。自成立以来，这座历史建筑(位于市中心，教授艺术、法律和神学的地方)拥有历史和文化遗产，并在 19 世纪末迎来了转折点。当时，奥维耶多集团创建了 Extensión Universitaria(大学扩展)，这将对 20 世纪的头几十年产生显着影响。 1934 年的“十月革命”为大学历史设定了一个转折点，参考书目、许多档案和艺术品被毁。这件事之后，为了恢复300多年的历史，开始了一段艰难的时期。这些努力直到 1940 年代才结束。显然，20 世纪是大学及其在区域领土上的融合的立足点。学术需求与教学机构的发展并行：大学在奥维耶多和阿斯图里亚斯的其他地点(希洪和米埃雷斯)都建立了新建筑。上世纪下半叶，大学在学生人数增加的基础上不断发展壮大。奥维耶多提供的学位在分散在该市的几个校区教授，而在希洪和米埃雷斯，新校区则通过提供特定领域的课程而专业化。 2009 年 11 月，奥维耶多大学被授予国际卓越校园奖，这是教育部和科学与创新部在 2015 年战略框架内推动的公开征集。这一举措旨在提高西班牙大学的教学和研究质量，使其跻身国际最佳排名。奥维耶多大学凭借其 Ad Futurum 项目被授予国际卓越校园奖。从 17 世纪到 21 世纪：回顾过去，展望未来。该提案得到了整个阿斯图里亚斯社会的支持，该项目整合了 200 多家公司和机构。Ad Futurum 的基石是国际化、人才招聘、提高教学和研究质量、促进创业精神、优化知识转移以及发展环保和融入境内的可持续校园。这些目标旨在促进和刺激该地区的商业部门。奥维耶多大学已将其所有课程调整为欧洲高等教育区 (EHEA)。此外，它还启动了其中心的组织进程，以便将相关学位分组并促进更有效的管理。在国际化方面，该学术机构在过去一年中与国外高校签署了 30 多项协议，并在教学和研究领域开辟了新的合作渠道。为了培养该机构的国际化维度并吸引国际学生和讲师，大学旨在促进学位和研究生课程的双语使用。我们的主要目标是提高奥维耶多大学在国际排名中的地位，成为对国际学生和讲师有吸引力的机构，同时通过与商界更有效和优化的合作为创造财富做出贡献。
