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:
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.
The University Ombudsperson is tasked with ensuring that the rights and freedoms of students, research and academic staff and admin staff are respected by all UA bodies and services, as set out in Article 197 of the University of Alicante Statutes.
Access all our services:
Internships, Work Placements and Employment, Companies, Get in Touch with Companies, Career Guidance, Training, UA:Emprende Entrepreneurship Campaign
We aim to contribute to the comprehensive training of students, UA members and society as a whole by promoting culture and advancing knowledge, with transparency, efficiency and professionalism, always focusing on users' needs.
The Languages Service promotes the use and high quality of Catalan, Spanish, English, French and other languages at the University of Alicante in accordance with the language policies set forth by the governing bodies. 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).
The Sports Service aims to promote and facilitate sports practice in the university community, with the free use of sports facilities, instructor-led activities, training and competition, a sport/study balance, according to the University of Alicante's sports policy.
