  This program is designed so that our students acquire the competencies that, according to the report The Future of Work in Europe 2020, prepared by the consulting firm McKinsey & Co., will be required by jobs shortly: quantitative and statistical analysis ability, project management, technology management, and interpersonal skills.

  Today, companies need to hire executives capable of motivating diverse, global workforces who are proficient in technology management. Nebrija's Business & Technology School, with this revised and renewed program in 2022, offers its students the possibility of acquiring these competencies thanks to the interaction with professionals with long experience in multinationals such as Metlife, Cepsa, and IBM.

Who was Antonio de Nebrija

Elio Antonio Nebrija was born in Lebrija (Seville) - hence his pseudonym - in 1441. He studied Humanities at the University of Salamanca and continued his philological studies in Bologna, where he interacted with Italian humanism. His teaching began at the University of Salamanca, to which he devoted a large part of his life. Summoned by Cardinal Cisneros, he went to the University of Alcalá to participate in the publishing of the Polyglot Bible, a project he abandoned due to differences with the group of translators. The last years of his life were spent teaching at the University of Alcalá, where he died in 1522.

The illustrious humanist struggled throughout his life to recover the cultured Latin spoken by Cicero and Quintilian and that was being lost in favor of vulgar speech. For this, he based it on the natural method, which started from a good knowledge of the Romance language -the language of the people-, as the best means to avoid losing that cultured Latin.

Among his works the following stand out: Introductiones latinae (1481), Lexicon latino-castellanum et castellano-latinum (1492), Gramática castellana (1492) and Reglas de orthographia en la lengua castellana (1517). Of all of them, the most important, for the repercussion that it has had in Hispanic philology, is that on Castilian Grammar, which is the first codification of a modern language, and whose prologue is dedicated to Queen Isabel the Catholic.

Internal Quality Assurance System

The Internal Quality Assurance System is the set of documented processes necessary to manage and control the proper development of the daily activity of Antonio de Nebrija University. Through the IQAS, the needs are analyzed, the processes are defined and a follow-up is maintained, all while ensuring continuous improvement.

This makes the Internal Quality Assurance System a living document, which must be revised and adapted as the organization or its activities change.

It is a unique system that encompasses all the centers and schools of which it is composed, as well as their corresponding processes. It was prepared by the Technical Unit for Quality (TUQ), under the University Rectorate, with the collaboration of all departments, both academic and administrative, from which it is structured. For this, TUQ has taken into consideration the guidelines promoted by ANECA through the AUDIT Program, which aims to guide Universities in the design of Quality Internal Assurance Systems.
