You are now a student at the UJA, and we would like to welcome you!
Dear international students,
The University of Jaén warmly welcomes all new international students participating in mobility programmes who have just arrived in Jaén.
In order to simplify the adaptation process and make these first few weeks easier, the Vice-Chancellor's Office for Internationalisation has organised a series of welcome sessions with various activities. These sessions are intended to provide basic and useful information, introduce you to your new city and facilitate your adaptation during these first few weeks.
