About Mondragon Unibertsitatea

Mondragon Unibertsitatea is the university of the Mondragon Corporation, a Basque cooperative federation, offering undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in engineering, business, and education. It operates campuses across the Basque Country, with its main campus in Arrasate-Mondragón, and is known for its cooperative, hands-on educational model closely tied to the region's industrial fabric.

For international professionals, the university stands out as a gateway into the Basque cooperative ecosystem: teaching and research posts are often linked to applied projects with local cooperatives (e.g. in advanced manufacturing, AI, and energy), and the working language is a mix of Basque, Spanish, and English. It is a relatively small, mission-driven institution, so newcomers should expect a collaborative, project-based environment rather than a large corporate R&D structure.

Good to know if you are moving

Teaching and research roles are often tied to applied projects with Basque cooperatives, so work can be hands-on and close to industry.
The working languages are Basque, Spanish, and English; international staff are expected to adapt to a multilingual environment.
Salaries follow Spanish academic pay scales, which are lower than private-sector tech roles, but come with strong job stability and cooperative benefits.
The university is small and mission-driven, so career growth may be slower than in a large corporate R&D center.
International hires may need to navigate Spanish/Basque bureaucracy for work permits, though the university typically assists with relocation.
