The Universitat Jaume I is currently the leading higher education and research centre in the north of the Valencian Community and it is continually seeking to enhance the social, economic and cultural development of the society in which it is immersed through the creation and transmission of knowledge. In this sense UJI has always wanted to play an active role, as shown by initiatives such as the opening of new off-campus offices in the different areas throughout the province of Castelló, its extramural activities, or its collaboration with the UJI Alumni and Friends Society (SAUJI).

Universitat Jaume I has consolidated itself as a dynamic and enterprising university. There are currently 31 degree and diploma courses available to about 15 000 students. Its new and attractive single campus, which is well linked with the town of Castelló, helps to maintain this policy by encouraging closer human relationships.

At the UJI, approximately 15 000 students share a single campus, a number that makes it a close-knit University but not an overcrowded one, thus allowing students to enjoy personalised attention at all times. The campus, covering 176 000 m2, has 4 faculties and many research and management buildings articulated around a central 13 000 m2 garden, called the Jardí dels Sentits (the garden of the senses).

The campus is equipped with the most up-to-date academic, research, cultural and social facilities so as to provide the University’s students with an enriching experience. It is a green, sustainable campus that promotes the use of renewable energies, with recycling points facilitating the recovery of materials.

Castelló is a modern town that is both typically Mediterranean and at the same time very European. It is well connected by road and rail to other important towns and cities around Spain and Europe. And thanks to the nearby airport in Valencia, flying to other parts of Spain or Europe is no problem either.
