In the year 1218 king Alfonso IX of Leon founded the University of Salamanca, which is considered to be the oldest Spanish universities in existence. According to the evaluation of Spanish universities carried out annually by a national newspaper, The University of Salamanca is ranked 16th in its 2008/2009 courses of UUPP with one course in 1st place;English Philology, two in 3rd place (Hispanic Philology, and Translation and Interpretating) and two in 5th place (Biology and CC. Policies and Admin.).The University of Salamanca is the European university with the ninth largest number of incoming Erasmus students and ranks number five among Spanish universities, following UPV, Seville and Valencia. However if we consider the importance of Erasmus students in relation to the size of our university, they represent 4.75% of the total number of students, this is in fact, the highest percentage among medium to large public universities.
