- 16.081 in the centers attached to public universities
- 80.988 in private universities and the Catholic Church

To this enormous dimension of university education in Madrid contributes the important contingent of students from other regions of the State and from very diverse foreign countries, mainly Latin American and European.
The reasons for this influx have a triple nature:
- Of an academic nature, based on the wide and diversified offer of degrees and the prestige of our universities.
- Socioeconomic environment, given that the Region of Madrid is equipped with a notably dynamic ecomomy capable of providing young students with important expectations of employment and professional development.
- Madrid brings together very important attractions, both for its extensive cultural and leisure offer, and for its recognized status as an open city, a meeting place and a large space for coexistence.
