2 WELCOME TO UNIVERSIDAD CEU SAN PABLO Summer University is an initiative of Universidad CEU San Pablo involving several fields of scientific, economic, cultural, social and legal knowledge. It is a representation of the international vocation of the CEU, mainly practice-focused. The Universidad CEU San Pablo will transfer the credits completed in each of the modules attended within each course. Such credits may be recognised by the students' own Universities according to the criteria these have established for this purpose. This initiative intends to promote the acquisition of capacities and the development of personal abilities among students. The syllabus of these programmes is addressed to those who wish to receive specific training in certain aspects of their education, in an academic and cosmopolitan environment. Many of these courses are also designed for those who are interested in the professional, academic or business field. These Courses are conceived and imparted by professors and academics of the Universidad CEU San Pablo and other foreign Higher Education Centre, institutions and companies. Those students who complete all the contents included in a Course will receive a Diploma by the Universidad CEU San Pablo certifying the completion thereof.

14 SUMMER TIME IN MADRID Madrid is a large ever-growing city with approximately five million inhabitants. It is located in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, on a plateau of 650 metres of height. The climate is continental, which means that it gets quite cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. Madrid is a very lively city. There are plenty of traditional cafés, chocolate shop cafés, summer terraces and tapas bars. Mingling with locals is quite easy, they are very welcoming and are used to hosting people coming from other parts of the country or the word. There are facilities available to practice any kind of sport. The city offers many other leisure opportunities. There is a wide range of opportunities related to art, particularly when it comes to painting. Madrid has three fabulous art galleries: the Museo del Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Modern Art Centre Reina Sofía, which are located in the same area and are referred to as "The Art Triangle". Along with museums and other traditional places of tourist interest, such as the Retiro Park or the Rastro (street market of traditional and second-hand objects) are worth a visit, as well as the Madrid de los Austrias (The Madrid of the Habsburgs) or the Plaza Mayor (Main Square).
