Founded in the sixteenth century, the University of Seville, with a student body of over 50,000, is one of the top-ranked universities in Spain. The University of Seville is steeped in history and is one of the most important cultural centres in Spain, dating back to the 15th century when the Catholic Kings recovered the area from the Moors. It was originally the Colegio de Santa María de Jesús which had been created by Arcediano Maese Rodrigo Fernández de Santaella and was confirmed as a practising university in 1555 by the papal bull of Pope Julius II. Today, the University of Seville is well known for its vital research in Technology and Science which not only aids the development of science as a whole but, more importantly, enriches and develops not only the culture of Seville but all of Andalusia. The university takes pride in its self-government and independence but, above all, in its ability to provide a public service at such a high standard due to the calibre of the professors and lecturers that teach there. This motivation is reflected in their ancient motto with the four qualities that the university lives by:`Equality, Liberty, Justice and Pluralism´. This motto applies to both teaching and learning but above all, the progress made in science, technology and culture. At present, the university´s main aim is to continue with the innovations developed in the scientific and technological fields as they look towards the future with a new and exciting perspective. This is reflected by the number of degrees offered; students attending the university have the choice of 65 different subjects and one of the widest ranges of academic and sporting facilities in Spain, making it a very popular university for both Spanish and international students.
塞维利亚大学始建于16世纪，拥有超过50,000名学生，是西班牙顶尖排位的高校之一。该校历史底蕴深厚，可追溯至15世纪天主教双王从摩尔人手中收复该地区的时期，现为西班牙最重要的文化中心之一。其前身是由阿塞迪亚诺·马埃塞·罗德里戈·费尔南德斯·德·桑塔埃拉创建的圣玛丽亚德赫苏斯学院，1555年经由教皇尤利乌斯二世的诏书批准成为正式大学。如今，塞维利亚大学以其在科技领域的重要研究而闻名，这不仅促进了科学的整体发展，更重要的是丰富并发展了不仅是塞维利亚的文化，还有整个安达卢西亚的文化。该大学以其自治和独立为傲，但最重要的是，凭借其教授和讲师的高水准，它有能力提供如此高标准的公共服务。这一动机体现在其古老的校训中，即大学所秉承的四大品质：“平等、自由、正义与多元”。这一格言既适用于教学也适用于学习，但最重要的是，它适用于科学、技术和文化领域取得的进步。目前，该大学的主要目标是继续推进科技创新，以全新且振奋的视角展望未来。这一点从其提供的学位数量上可见一斑：在校学生可选择65门不同学科，并享有西班牙最广泛的学术与体育设施之一，这使得该校成为西班牙及国际学生非常青睐的大学。
