University of Oviedo

The University of Oviedo (Spanish: Universidad de Oviedo, Asturian: Universidá d'Uviéu) is a public university in the autonomous community of Asturias in northern Spain, and the only university in the region.奥维耶多大学（西班牙语：Universidad de Oviedo，阿斯图里亚斯语：Universidá d'Uviéu）是西班牙北部阿斯图里亚斯自治区的一所公立大学，也是该地区唯一的大学。

It traces its foundation to the will of a sixteenth-century archbishop, received a papal bull in 1574 and a royal charter in 1604, and first opened its doors for teaching on September 21, 1608.该校的创设依据是一位 16 世纪大主教的遗嘱，1574 年获教皇诏书、1604 年获王室特许状，并于 1608 年 9 月 21 日首次开学授课。

Today it groups 31 faculties and professional schools offering degrees in more than 150 fields across seven campus and research centres located in Oviedo, Gijón and Mieres.如今该校设有 31 个学院与专业学院，在 150 多个学科领域授予学位，教学科研单位分布在奥维耶多、希洪与米埃雷斯三城的 7 个校区与研究中心。

History

• The university was established under the terms and conditions of the will of Archbishop Fernando de Valdés Salas, who lived from 1483 to 1568 and served as General Inquisitor under Philip II of Spain, and it was funded out of his estate.学校的设立依据是大主教费尔南多·德·巴尔德斯·萨拉斯的遗嘱所定条件，此人生活于 1483 年至 1568 年，曾任西班牙国王费利佩二世的宗教裁判所总监，建校资金出自其遗产。

• In 1574 Pope Gregory XIII granted the papal bull creating the university, the ecclesiastical authorisation that preceded any royal document by three decades.1574 年教皇格里高利十三世颁布创建该校的教皇诏书，这一教会核准比王室文件早了三十年。

• King Philip III issued the founding charter in 1604, completing the two-stage authorisation process that began with the archbishop's bequest and came twenty-one years before the first class.国王费利佩三世于 1604 年颁发建校特许状，完成了始于大主教遗赠的两步授权程序，距首次开学还有 21 年。

• After both grants were in hand the institution first opened for the teaching of classes on September 21, 1608, more than forty years after its founder's death.两道核准齐备后，学校于 1608 年 9 月 21 日首次开学授课，距创办人去世已过四十年有余。

• The ancient university had three faculties, the Faculty of Arts that every student had to graduate from before continuing, and the Faculties of Theology and Law, sometimes called the higher faculties.早期学校设三个学院，文学院是所有学生升学必经的一级，神学院与法学院则被称为高等学院。

• After the French invasion of Spain the Historical Building was occupied by invading troops and lectures were suspended until the war ended in 1812.法国军队入侵西班牙后，校内历史楼被占领，授课被迫中断，直到 1812 年战争结束才恢复。

• During the nineteenth century a group of liberal professors tried to bring the university closer to the working class through the Extensión Universitaria, a popular education programme sponsored by the institution itself.19 世纪一批自由派教授试图通过大学推广部（Extensión Universitaria）把学校拉近工人阶级，这一大众教育项目由校方本身资助。

• That goal was not fully achieved, and on October 13, 1934, during the leftist miners' revolt in Asturias, the university, including its library and its art gallery, was set on fire, whether by the revolutionaries or by government bomber airplanes.这一目标并未完全实现，1934 年 10 月 13 日阿斯图里亚斯矿工起义期间，学校连同图书馆与美术馆被纵火焚毁，起火者是革命者还是政府轰炸机至今两说。

• The damaged buildings were rebuilt after the Spanish Civil War, which ran from 1936 to 1939.受损建筑在 1936 年至 1939 年的西班牙内战结束后重建。

• The number of faculties has multiplied in the modern university partly through the subdivision of the traditional four faculties into separate schools.现代该校的学院数目成倍增长，一部分来自传统四大学院的持续拆分。

• It grew in the other direction too, by absorbing academic disciplines that had developed inside originally vocational schools, in areas such as engineering or nursing.学校也从另一头扩张，把原本属于职业类学校的工程、护理等学科纳入建制。

• Its teaching units now count 31 faculties and professional schools, offering degrees and diplomas in over 150 fields of study, against the three faculties of the seventeenth century.如今教学单位为 31 个学院与专业学院，在 150 多个学科领域授予学位与文凭，而 17 世纪时只有三个学院。

• The School of Law carries the longest continuous claim, listed in the university's own records as teaching since 1608.法学院延续时间最长，校方记录将其教学起点系于 1608 年。

• Teaching and Education opened in 1845 and Chemistry in 1848, the first of the nineteenth-century additions to the older faculty structure.教育与师资培训机构设于 1845 年，化学学院设于 1848 年，是 19 世纪对旧学院格局最早的两项扩充。

• Industrial Asturias fed the expansion, with the Polytechnic School of Mieres founded in 1855 and the Gijón Polytechnic School of Engineering in 1888, decades before the modern campus network was formalised.工业化的阿斯图里亚斯推动扩张，米埃雷斯理工学校成立于 1855 年、希洪理工工程学院成立于 1888 年，远早于现代校区网络的正式成形。

• Philosophy and Letters dates to 1892 and the Faculty of Economy and Business to 1908, the two nineteenth- and twentieth-century additions that moved the old arts faculty towards modern disciplines.哲文学院建于 1892 年，经济与商学院建于 1908 年，这两项增设把旧文学院推向现代学科。

• The mid-century wave added geology teaching in 1958, Mining Engineering in 1959, Biology in 1961 and Medicine and Health Sciences in 1968.20 世纪中叶的扩张潮在 1958 年增设地质教学，1959 年设采矿工程学院，1961 年设生物学院，1968 年设医学与健康科学学院。

• Later additions were the Merchant Marine School in 1979, the Computer Engineering School in 1982, the Sciences faculty in 1990 and the Psychology faculty in 1991.此后 1979 年设商船学院，1982 年设计算机工程学院，1990 年设理学院，1991 年设心理学院。

• The modern institution took shape as seven campus and research centres spread across three cities, keeping the university physically rooted in the Asturian industrial belt rather than in a single town.现代学校定型为分布在 3 座城市的 7 个校区与研究中心，使其在地理上扎根于阿斯图里亚斯工业带，而非局限于一城。

• Chemistry teaching since 1848 and physics, mathematics and statistics departments make the experimental sciences one of the university's older academic stocks.自 1848 年以来的化学教学与物理、数学、统计系科，使实验科学成为该校历史最久的学术板块之一。

• Mining, materials and metallurgical engineering, inherited from the Mieres and Gijón polytechnic schools, remain distinctive within the Spanish university system.承自米埃雷斯与希洪理工学校的采矿、材料与冶金工程，在西班牙大学体系中仍属特色方向。

• Nautical teaching, from the Merchant Marine school of 1979, is paired with a department of nautical science and technologies inside the engineering family.源于 1979 年商船学院的航海教学，与工程部类下的航海科学与技术系科相配套。

• The rector is Ignacio Villaverde Menéndez, supported by vice-rectorates for academic organization, research, student affairs, international affairs, studies and teaching, extension and international development, coordination and university strategy, material and technological resources, sustainability and digitalization, and crosscutting actions and enterprise cooperation.校长为 Ignacio Villaverde Menéndez，下设教务、科研、学生事务、国际事务、教学、大学推广与国际发展、统筹与大学战略、物质与技术资源、可持续与数字化、跨领域行动与企业协作等副校长办公室。

• Asturian-language studies are anchored in the humanities through figures such as the philologist Ana Cano, president of the Academy of the Asturian Language, and the linguist and educator Pablo Xuan Manzano Rodríguez, both listed among the university's professors.阿斯图里亚斯语研究依托人文学科，代表人物包括任阿斯图里亚斯语言学院院长的语文学家 Ana Cano 与语言教育家 Pablo Xuan Manzano Rodríguez，二人均列于该校教授名录。

• Degree structures inherited from vocational schools mean that nursing and technical teaching sit beside university-taught disciplines inside the same professional-school network.源自职业学校的学位结构使护理与技术教学在同一专业学院网络中与学术学科并列。

• Teaching capacity is arranged faculty by faculty, and one documented example lists six classrooms from 75 up to 171 seats, a hall of 112 places used for lectures and final-project presentations, and 15 laboratories equipped with both PC and Macintosh machines.教学容量按学院分别配置，有记录的案例显示某学院设 6 间容量自 75 座至 171 座的教室、可容 112 人并用于讲座与毕业设计答辩的礼堂，以及 15 间同时配备 PC 与 Macintosh 机的实验室。

Campus

• Coordinates of 43.36029 degrees north latitude and 5.84476 degrees west longitude place its Oviedo seat on the northern Spanish cantabric slope, while teaching sites reach Gijón and Mieres as well.北纬 43.36029 度、西经 5.84476 度的坐标把奥维耶多本部置于西班牙北部坎塔布连一侧，教学点则延伸到希洪与米埃雷斯。

• The university is made up of seven campus and research centres, a distribution that makes it the higher-education provider of an entire autonomous community rather than of one city.全校由 7 个校区与研究中心组成，这种布局使它成为整个自治区的高等教育供给者，而不仅服务一城。

• Its Historical Building in Oviedo is the oldest seat in the records, the structure occupied by invading troops during the French invasion and stripped of teaching until 1812.奥维耶多的历史楼是记录中最古老的校舍，即法国入侵时期被占领、直到 1812 年才恢复授课的那栋建筑。

• The library and the art gallery destroyed on October 13, 1934 had to be reconstituted after the Civil War, a loss that reset the campus's cultural holdings.1934 年 10 月 13 日被毁的图书馆与美术馆在内战后不得不重新组建，这一损失使校园的文化收藏被清空重来。

• Engineering teaching is concentrated in the polytechnic schools of Gijón and Mieres, while commerce, tourism and social sciences are carried by the Jovellanos Faculty.工程教学集中在希洪与米埃雷斯的理工学校，商科、旅游与社会科学则由霍韦利亚诺斯学院承担。
