 To whom are the studies directed? |
"The first steps toward a career are very difficult, especially in Madrid, where many things call us not to study. By means of personal help and activities, we work together in order that each student improves his motivation and work methods."

The Colegio Mayor Moncloa is an academic university affiliated with the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, which offers an atmosphere of coexistence that features an academic regiment as a element toward personal growth. The Area of Studies organizes the program of academic activities, which develops the intellectual and cultural working habits of the students, and which also allows for a personalized academic orientation.
The academic mission of Moncloa is to promote the development of effective study habits, not only for the university studies, but also for later on in life. This is the central goal of the Colegio Mayor. In this way, we encourage a demanding atmosphere focusing on good use of time, which ultimately increases the student´s concentration. Our Study Rooms and the Library are specifically dedicated to such activities as described above.
When it comes to the allocation of such official positions, which are mentioned below, the quarterly grades are a fundamental factor. |
