The International Relations Service is tasked with coordinating and advising on activities related to managing national and international mobility programmes of students, lecturers and admin staff, as well as programmes, funding schemes and projects in connection with development cooperation and solidarity.

It was created as an administrative service within the Office of the Vice President for International Relations and Cooperation to support and coordinate the three units making up the Service:

• Mobility and International Programmes
• Asia & Pacific Relations Office (APRO)
• Development Cooperation Division

We offer Spanish and Foreign Language Courses, as well as our Translation and Conference Organisation services and other complementary services such as Accommodation, Cultural Activities, Language Visits and Grants for Studying Abroad or Advice for Overseas Students.

We also organise preparation courses for official examinations in English and Spanish for speakers of other languages. We are an examination centre for several internationally recognised diplomas: DELE (Cervantes Institute), SIELE (International Service for Spanish Language Assessment) and Romanian (Romanian Language Institute).

The University of Alicante Information Service aims to facilitate users' access to information about the resources provided by the UA and the university system as a whole. It manages and disseminates information through a user service, by producing publications and by using ICT with a focus on professionalism, social responsibility, cooperation, rigour, clarity and flexibility. Thus, it provides an overview of the university system and of the UA.

Therefore, we are in charge of enhancing the understanding and use of the language of our region (referred to as Valencian in our Statute of Autonomy, although it is academically known as Catalan), as well as working towards its consolidation and standardisation across the university community (Article 2.k of UA Statutes).
