Three quarters of the remaining staff are associates and the rest belong to other categories, largely assistants.By scientific area, the Business Management and Electric and Electronic Engineering departments represent over 9 per cent of the total staff each.They are followed in importance by Mathematics and Computer Science, Projects and Rural Engineering and Economics, each of them with around seven per cent of the total staff.

Teaching staff from other universities often visit us during the academic year, especially to give doctorate courses, seminars or conferences. Likewise, teachers from the Public University of Navarre visit other Spanish and foreign universities to perform similar activities, to conduct research oras guests.

52% of the students are women and 48% men. There are some subjects, such as the different industrial engineering courses, where, as in the restof Spain, men represent over 80 per cent, although the proportion is becoming more balanced. On the other hand, the courses in which the number of women is far above average are Nursing (94%), Social Work and Teaching, where they also exceed 80%.

The largest number of students is registered to study Industrial Engineering, representing 11% ofthe total. This is followed by Technical Industrial Engineering and Diploma in Business Science.The students attending the Public University of Navarre come from a wide range of social backgrounds. Most of them, whose families live in Navarre but far from the capital, live in Pamplona from Monday to Fridayand visit their homes at weekends.

The first law and preprimary teaching students graduated in 1996-1997, followed by primary, foreign language and music teachers in 1997-1998. The first Telecommunications Engineers and Computing Management students graduated in 2004, followed by graduates from the combined Business Management and Law course in 2005. Every year, around 1,500 students graduate from the Public University of Navarre. In all, the total number of graduates is now around 17,000.
