The University of the Basque Country is divided into three campuses. One campus with 10,000 students is located in San Sebastian (population 200,000), which is about 12 miles form the French border at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains in the province of Gipuzkoa. Its spectacular bay (see picture) on the Atlantic Ocean has made San Sebastian a tourist attraction hundreds of years. The campus of the University lies within walking distance (about 30 minutes) of the medieval quarter of the city, which serves as the entertainment center - filled with restaurants, tapas bars, etc. Although in the Basque country where native Basque people speak Basque, everyone in San Sebastian speaks Spanish, and the university courses are given in Spanish. The university has departments in Architecture, Economy, Teaching, Law, Computer Science, Philosophy, Psychology, Nursing, Polytechnic and Chemistry. The chemistry department has particular strength in applied and polymer chemistry. Students get lots of individual attention. The University in San Sebastian does not offer a major in biology, (biology majors go to Bilbao). However, San Sebastian does offer a solid biochemistry course within the chemistry department.
