The University of Extremadura is located in the autonomous region

• f Extremadura in southwestern

Spain, around 300 km from Madrid.

• The university has three campuses, at Badajoz, Cáceres and Plasencia.
• The School of Engineering on the Cáceres campus delivers a graduate degree in Civil

Engineering with specialities in civil construction, transport and urban services and water management, as well as a master’s degree in Engineering and Architectural Research.

Where is the University of Extremadura?
