Alicante University Alicante Spain

Alicante University is situated in the region of Valencia, is a modern university in contrast to its ancient counterparts in Spain and was founded in 1979. However, it was built on the foundations of a previous institution, the University of Orihuela which was created in 1545. Therefore, the university in its surroundings is not only an impressive eductional institution but also a popular cultural centre.

The University of Alicante benefits from being situated inside a prosperous region right in the heart of the mediterranean, a land which owes its prosperity to the open and enterprising spirit of its people. The university of Alicante is submerged in the values that belong to the surroundings in which it was founded in 1968 as a University College. The society in which it emerged adopted the institution as its own, conscious of the fact that the seed of the future of their province lies in the quality of its education, research and innovation. At the same time, the society in question also needs the university to provide new graduates and specialists and requires new applied technologies, as well as new solutions for the challenges of the industry of our surroundings, etc.

The university today is a very popular destination for both spanish and foreign students who wish to persue studies in spain. There are approximately 33,000 students at the university and as one of the leading universities in its field, it has a wide range of facilities and new technology available to students wishing to study there. They have over 60 academic departments and over 50 different degrees on offer that range from the Sciences to Arts and Humanities and many more.

The university is also an active participant in many development schemes both in Spain and abroad that include practical schemes in companies and also international schemes like Socrates and Erasmus providing with many international contacts which in effect provides its students, both foreign and spanish, with the best opportunities in both an academic and cultural capacity. It is also a leading centre in scientific research and even has its own research and investigation area. It is even planning to develop its own Science Park which will further increase the quality of teaching facilities especially in the field of sciences.
