A financial-economic hub

Biscay’s capital and the largest city in the Basque Country, Bilbao was built on the Nervion-Ibaizabal estuary and is a financial-economic hub as well as a meeting point for business and trade in the Basque Country. At present, business, leisure and culture are seen as symbols of the transformation the city has undergone.

A financial-economic hub

The Bilbao campus was declared a site of historical interest in 2002. Several architecturally valuable buildings are found on the campus. The most outstanding is known as the Main Building (Edificio Central) and has a classic style. Its most distinctive features are its central staircase, the Library (currently the Salón de Grados), the Gothic Chapel and the Main Hall.

The Comercial Building is known for its neoclassic façade. The so called “Glass Building” or “Centenary Building” was built in the 80s. The last emblematic building on the Bilbao campus, the ESIDE Building, is more modern in style and was designed by the César Sans Gironella.

DeustoKabi began to operate in the ESIDE Building in 2009. It is the University of Deusto’s first technology-based business nursery.

In 2013, DeustoTech began a project to transform its premises with a view to concentrating on the quality of research while also improving its R&D+I services rendered to partner firms and organisations.

The entire university campus is surrounded by green areas with over 200 trees of some 50 different species, many of which are rare botanical specimens.

There are several convenient ways to reach the centrally located Bilbao campus. If you plan to walk to campus, there are bridges that connect the University to the centre of Bilbao. The University has car parks both on campus and at the Plaza Euskadi, which is a five-minute walk from the campus. The underground and tram also have stops very close to the campus.
