La Fundación Universitaria is divided into seven seminars: Literature, History, Thought, Art and Iconography, Law and Classical Culture, Education, and Theology. Its purpose is to provide instruction, preparation, and further study in these subjects for young people pursuing university or higher education.

It works towards the promotion and dissemination of Spanish culture in the field of Humanities within the university context, primarily promoting research, funding, and publishing academic works created by funded researchers or other individuals whose work is deemed relevant. This mission follows the motto displayed on its coat of arms: “Sub halitu fidei, in altum progrediar” (Under the breath of faith, I will progress towards the heights).

The seminars organize academic activities, such as conferences, courses, and book presentations, related to their specialties. In addition, each seminar publishes research papers in one or more collections, along with an annual academic journal.
