Welcome to UJA!
Dear international students,
The University of Jaén would like to offer a warm welcome to all those new international students of talent attraction, mobility exchange and double degree programs who have just arrived in Jaén. In order to simplify the adaptation process and make these initial weeks easier, from the Vice-rectorate for Internationalization and the International Relations Service, we have designed a welcome program with different activities to transmit basic and useful information. This program is intended to complement the intense informative and support work that the International Relations Service carries out before the mobility and in the first days of the stay, and thus solve specific doubts that are pending, regarding procedures, services, location of the same, and human team in charge of your adaptation. Below you will find information about the different actions designed. We will be happy to assist you and help you throughout your stay. Welcome!
