Welcome Days (second-semester students) – February 2026
You are now a UJA student, 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 days with various activities. These sessions are designed to provide basic and useful information, introduce you to your new city and help you settle in during these first few weeks.
