Dear Student:
On behalf of the entire University community, I would like to welcome you to the University of Alicante, a public higher education
institution that serves society, generates knowledge and trains professionals and citizens who are engaged in upholding values. At
the University of Alicante, we are firmly committed to providing quality education, training and research.
Firstly, I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in our University by deciding to further your professional training and
personal development here with us. Secondly, I wish to commend your decision in choosing this institution where students are the
centre-point of all activity and we aim to provide an all-round education at the highest level. Quality is guaranteed by our staff and
material resources and one of our main priorities is to strengthen relations with society and the productive sector.
Our University is located on a unique, practical and genuinely beautiful campus with a comprehensive infrastructure for all of our
academic, scientific, cultural, social and sporting activities.
We provide thorough quality teaching characterised by highly practical components in a wide range of degree and postgraduate
courses that are well-valued by the labour market, in all fields of knowledge.
We have signed numerous cooperation agreements with companies and institutions to guarantee students work experience during
their studies. Furthermore, career advice and support activities are organised to promote integration into the labour market. The
University also participates in several national and international mobility programmes.
On the University campus, a whole host of services is available to cover all your needs be they academic (degree courses, libraries, study rooms, computer network, language learning), cultural and sporting (sports facilities and cultural activities) or related to
everyday life (banks, restaurants, transport, bookshop and medical service).
As Vice-Chancellor of the University of Alicante I encourage you to take a leading role in your education and training, with your
hard work and all of our support.
This University unites us all.

Equality Unit
The University Of Alicante Equality Unit was founded in 2009 in compliance with the twelfth additional provision of the LOM-LOU
(revised edition of the Organic Law of Universities), which decrees that:
“Universities will establish equality units as part of their organisational structures, in order to promote those actions related to the
principle of equality between women and men.”
The right to equality between women and men has been recognised by the United Nations as a universal legal principle and has been
incorporated into the constitutions of democratic countries. However, legal equality, which represents a significant historical achievement for women and society in general, has proved inadequate to achieve genuine equality. Society faces the critical challenge of
eradicating determined stereotypes and promoting the conditions necessary for equality between women and men to become an
effective reality.
Women have increased their presence in different areas of society. The incorporation of women into education, and particularly higher
education, from which women were excluded for decades, is a good indication that significant advances have been made towards
achieving equality. Nevertheless, various reports on the position of women in universities testify to the persistence of inequalities and
imbalances regarding access to academic degrees, career paths and women’s participation in representative bodies.
This evidence of inequality indicates that, in addition to addressing the root causes, there is a need to take positive action in order to
redress and prevent these inequalities and achieve effective equality.
The Equality Unit’s main task is to monitor compliance with the University of Alicante “First Plan for Equal Opportunities for Women
and Men”, approved in January 2010, and the elaboretion of the II Plan of Equality that will have to approve along 2013. The plans of
equality incorporates measures which more or less directly affect the student body, such as:
• Awareness raising on the issue of gender equality.
• Actions aimed at eradicating the stereotypes associated with certain degrees.
• Prevention of sexual harassment, gender-motivated harassment and gender violence within the university community.
• Incorporation of a gender perspective in teaching and research at the UA.
The Equality Unit is located on the ground floor of the Social Sciences building.
The UA has an Equality Commission that serves as a channel for the participation of the university community in equality policies. The student body is represented in this Committee through the Student Council.

TRAINING
The process of adapting Spanish university teaching to the European Higher Education Area is being implanted progressively from
the 2010/2011 academic year at the University of Alicante. The philosophy of the reform is based on:
- Facilitating the mobility of students and teaching staff throughout Europe.
- Favouring progressive convergence towards a common degree structure.
- Favouring the continuation or resumption of courses at the same or a different university.
The Spanish Government issued a Royal Decree on 29th October 2007 to regulate university courses (RD 1393/2007), amended by
Royal Decree 861/2010 of 2nd July, and this standard has been used for reference by universities to create their different degree
courses.
The University of Alicante (UA) has also drafted its own regulations for the implantation of the Degree
qualifications, approved by the Board of Governors on 30th June 2008.
Said university studies consist of 3 cycles:
- Degree.
- Master.
- Doctorate.
The different kinds of studies available at the UA can be classified in several ways
• According to the qualification awarded on successful completion:
- Official courses with full academic and professional validity in the whole of Spain.
- University own degree courses prepared by each university and which cannot use the denomination reserved for official qualifications. They are generally specialist qualifications.
• According to the level of teaching and admission requirements we can classify them by:
- Old Study Plan Courses: these are the qualifications of 3-Year Degree, 3-Year Degree in Engineering, 3-Year Degree in Architecture, Qualified Teacher, Degree, Engineering and Architecture, which will be gradually phased out from this academic year
onwards.
- Degree Courses. These are designed to give students an overall grounding in one or more subjects and are designed to prepare
them for professional activities. The qualification will be entitled Degree in T, with indication, where appropriate, M (corresponding
Mention) from the University of Alicante, and the Degree Supplement will refer to the branch of knowledge the qualification is assigned to. The 5 branches of knowledge are as follows: Arts and Humanities, Sciences, Health Sciences, Social & Legal Sciences
and Engineering & Architecture.
The study plans designed to obtain the qualifications must have the acquisition of competences by the students as one of the
primary aims. They will consist of 240 ECTS, except for certain qualifications regulated by European directives (Medicine, Architecture, etc.), which have more ECTS. The 240 ECTS are spread over 4 years with 60 credits each, divided into semesters with 30
credits in each. Students can register Full Time (60 credits in first registration, in pursuit of studies or registration with recognition
of credits from another degree, the range will be from 48 to 72 credits), Part Time (30 credits in first registration and continuing
studies in a range that goes from 24 to 47 credits) or Reduced Attention to Disability for each academic year it should be taken into
account that students are Part Time or Reduced Attention to Disability students (between 6 to 18 credits) for their qualification,
however they are full time as regards the subjects they register for.
- Master’s Courses. These are designed to provide students with advanced, specialised or multidisciplinary training focused on
academic or professional specialisation, or to encourage their participation in research activities.
The qualification will be entitled University Master’s Degree in T, where, specializing in E (specialty) from the University of Alicante.
The study plans will consist of 60 to 120 ECTS and will last from 1 to 2 years.
- Doctorate Courses. These are designed to provide students with advanced training in research techniques and may include
courses, seminars and other activities aimed at research training and will include the preparation and presentation of the corresponding Doctoral Thesis, consisting of an original research work.
The Doctorate qualification will be entitled PhD from the University of Alicante.
The Doctorate programme consists of two periods, one of training and the other of research – the training period may be a University Masters.
The Doctorate programmes will exist in tandem with the new courses that will take over in accordance with European Higher
Education Area guidelines.
The UA currently offers 39 degree qualifications, two being simultaneous study programmes of Law-Business Administration and
Management (LBAM) and Tourism-Business Administration and Management (TBAM). With regard to postgraduate studies, we offer
52 official Masters, 27 Doctorate programmes and 78 own postgraduate and specialisation courses (20 Masters, 20 Specialist and
38 Expert).

Royal Decree RD 1125/2003 describes the EUROPEAN CREDIT or European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) as a European credit
system that organises the study plans so that they are more understandable and comparable, allowing universities to understand
each other more easily when it comes to managing academic records of international students.
The teaching system is based on student learning, valuing the effort made by students to pass subjects, meaning that it takes into
account the time spent attending classes, the hours spent studying, academic work, seminars, projects and the time needed to
prepare for and attend exams.
The following are the main features of the ECTS:
- Based on 60 credits as the workload of full time students for one academic year.
- The workload in Europe is 36 to 40 weeks per academic year. It is 40 weeks at the University of Alicante.
- A credit represents from 25 to 30 hours work. It represents 25 hours at the University of Alicante.
The ACADEMIC LEVEL achieved by students is expressed by marks that are reflected in their academic ratings, as per Royal Decree
1125/2003:
- 0 - 4.9: Fail (F).
- 5.0 - 6.9: Pass (P).
- 7.0 - 8.9: Good (G).
- 9.0 - 10: Excellent (E).
First Class Honours may be awarded for marks equal to or higher than 9.0, to a maximum of 5% of the students registered.
The average student record mark will be the result of applying the following formula: the sum of the credits obtained by the student,
each multiplied by the value of the corresponding marks and divided by the total number of credits obtained by the student.
Credits obtained through recognition of credits that are not integrated in the study plan will neither be rated numerically nor taken into
account for the average of the student record.
UA graduates must acquire specific knowledge and skills that are part of transversal competences that make up the TRANSVERSAL
CURRICULUM of the UA.
The transversal Curriculum consists of the following knowledge and skills that all UA graduates must acquire independently of the
qualifications they have chosen:
- Foreign Language: Minimum level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for modern languages, with B2 being
recommended.
- I.T. and Information Studies: included in the different subjects as specific learning results.
- Oral and Written Communication: considered to be present in all subjects making up the qualification.
The OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES and QUALIFICATIONS to be obtained with degree courses at the UA are:

TEACHING IN THE VALENCIAN LANGUAGE
Register for the Valencian language!
When you register, mark the option “teaching in Valencian” and, if it’s available, sign up!
With the teaching in the Valencian language option, the lecturers use the Valencian language as the main language, a good part of the materials and
support bibliography are in Valencian. As on all other university studies and
courses, students can use either of the two official languages.
Why do you have to do courses in Valencian language?
Because studying in Valencian is the best way to gain an understanding of
your speciality in the two official languages, something that opens doors in
your working life. Speaking and writing two languages well is also the best
way to learn three languages, and all three will be both useful and necessary
while you are learning and working.
Because all students have the right to it - this means the UA needs you to
participate so that it can be offered to everyone.
Courses in the Valencian language.
At the UA, some courses are partially taught in Valencian.
In the academic year 2013/2014, some subjects on the following courses will
be taught in Valencian: Business Administration and Management, Law, Technical Arquitectura (old Civil Engineering), Construction Engineering, Computer Engineering, Geography, History, Pre-School Education Teacher Training, Primary Education Teacher Training, Advertising and Public Relations,
Sociology and Tourism.
Other courses offer subjects in the Valencian language, ask at your Secretariat or check the website and the Service of Language Policies.

Permanent University
The Permanent University (University for Older People) at the University of Alicante is scientific, cultural and social programme
designed to promote Science and Culture at the same time as inter-generation relationships, to improve the quality of life of those
over 50 and promote their participation as social catalysts in this context.
Inside the Office of the Vice President for Studies Planning, Training Actions & Quality Standards, the UPUA programme forms part
of the specific university teaching programmes for older people, and responds to such needs as: the development of the democratisation of knowledge, the compensation of inequalities, the social integration and participation of these individuals in society,
the promotion of intra and inter-generation relationships that contribute towards maintaining the quality of life, together with the
opening and maintenance of options for continuing an active life in activities outside the world of work.
Designed by lecturers from the different areas of knowledge at the University, collaborating centres and specialists, the programme
allows participants to choose from a wide range of subjects grouped into the following areas: Humanities, Experimental Sciences,
Health and Social Action, Social Sciences and I.T., Image and Sound.
Subjects have a duration of 40 teaching hours, and are taught in
preferred hours later (17-20 h) sessions on 2 to 3 alternate days a
week, according to the general course programme and the subjects
chosen by the student from those on the programme.
The Universidad Permanente is designed for all those over 50 years
of age and resident in the Region of Valencia who wish to improve
their socio-cultural culture. No previous qualifications are necessary.
Courses are taught at the Campus of San Vicente, the City of Alicante University Annex and other University of Alicante Annexes, in
collaboration with the corresponding town councils. In addition to
the generic subjects included in the programme, specific courses
aimed at local communities and foreign residents are also offered in
these towns, in accordance with the agreements signed with partner organisations, thus contributing to the consolidation of the general objectives set forth in the programme and the strengthening of
cultural ties, especially among European Union citizens.
In addition, and in collaboration with the Office for Culture and
Languages Promotion at The Office of the Vice President for Culture, Sports & Language Policies, the UPUA offers a wide range of
Complementary Activities aimed at the whole university community, including the UPUA students. These complementary activities
broaden the academic programme offered to registered students
and enhance the personal development, as well as inter-generation
relationships.
The activities include lectures, seminars, exhibitions, plays, films,
recitals, concerts, workshops, sports activities and a wide range of cultural activities, all of which are available as part of the annual
programme for students registered for university studies for both terms.
- Pre-registration in June and ordinary registration in September.
Registration will take place by appointment through the allocation of turn. Registration numbers must be handed in to the Universidad Permanente secretariat (Aulario III Lecture Building - Module I - San Vicente Campus),

processes, the drafting of teaching guides and the standardisation of subject profiles.
- Improvement of the facilities and resources used for learning: libraries, reading rooms, computer and internet rooms, classroom
equipment, wireless network for the whole campus, incentives to acquire laptops.
- The quest for total quality by implementing institutional assessment programmes that involve the evaluation of courses, centres and
services, as well as the proposal and development of improvement plans as a permanent philosophy.
- Generalisation of welcome and integration sessions for new students at the start of the course and the development of courses 0.

Academic work experience
University students have the option of carrying out both curricular and extracurricular work experience. The degrees being phased out included work
experience in companies and institutions either as a subject on the course
programme or as academic training worth optional or elective credits.
In the new undergraduate and Master’s degree courses, work experience
is established as an integral part of the course programme curriculum, and
may be either compulsory or optional. Therefore, students who wish to broaden their education and improve their future employability can enrol on the
corresponding subject as established in their course programme.
To this end, the UA and its Centres have entered into cooperation and education agreements with numerous public and private companies and institutions which each academic year offer work placements to our students.
Work experience is offered on all UA courses, whether officially recognised or unique to the University, and is regulated by Royal
Decree 1707/2011 of 18 November.
The Work Experience and Student Support Office, which forms part of the Office of the Vice President for Students, and the
Student Services Work Experience unit organise the education cooperation agreements and establishes the principles of coordinated management of work experience in the centres, which are responsible for academic administration of their students’ work
experience.
For the academic year 2013-14, there are about 3.750 existing agreements for the development of external practices of students

Observatory for Access to
the Labour Market
The University of Alicante undertakes actions and has developed
tools to enhance the employment prospects of its students and
make it easier for its graduates to find jobs in areas that match
their training as closely as possible, bearing in mind the fact that
improving employability is one of the key objectives of convergence in the European Higher Education Space.
www.insercionlaboral.ua.es

twitter.com/#!/ObservatorioUA
Career path. From University to Business.
The main objective of the University of Alicante’s Employment
Observatory is to prepare students for entry into the professional
workforce and improve their employability, primarily through the
design and implementation of activities and projects promoting
attitudes, self-assessment and the various professional and interpersonal interdisciplinary skills demanded by today’s labour
market.
We help graduates make the transition from student to professional.
In addition, the Centre aspires to meet the constant demand for new avenues through which students and graduates can pursue their professional
careers by providing fresh, dynamic and up-to-date guidance.
Active Participation and Networking
The aim of this programme is to promote structural and strategic change through greater coordination between University of Alicante centres and
the UA General Foundation.
To this end, the Observatory encourages the active participation of stakeholders in our activities, website and social networks. We welcome proposals or requests for new courses and information about events, links or other types of documents; and we invite everyone to become involved
in our work so that it can be tailored to the true needs of the university community, including students, graduates and employers.
We strongly believe in the need to bring the University and its social setting closer together. To this end, we aim to forge stronger ties between the
academic world and society in general by modifying criteria as regards university degree contents and teaching in order to adapt student skills,
abilities and proficiencies to the needs of the labour market.
Social networks and contact with users
In the field of social networks, the Observatory has consolidated its presence on Facebook and Twitter, representing the main tools that students
can use to find practical news related to employment and self-employment inside and outside the UA.
This two-way communication channel serves as a means for students to convey their needs and concerns in a direct and effective manner,
enabling us to adapt the services we offer accordingly.
We also have an extensive distribution list whose users receive a weekly newsletter, and a new “Private Intranet Area” where students and graduates can register to access and enrol on all the activities offered, thus streamlining administrative procedures.
Employment opportunities and E-Learning
At the University of Alicante, it is the General Foundation’s Employment Initiatives Office (Spanish acronym GIPE) which is responsible for posting
employment opportunities and for providing labour market intermediation services.

Employment
A simple web section has been created for posting the employment opportunities that some partner companies send expressly to the Observatory.
In addition, students will find links on the Observatory website to the various employment opportunity listings posted around the Campus (GIPE,
Fudeum, Opemil, the Polytechnic University College and the Chair of Family Business).
Lastly, the Observatory has a E-learning platform to provide training for entrepreneurs, and an SRM (Student Relationship Management) system
so that entrepreneurs can keep track of their training history.
Employment Workshops
Tips and secrets on how to successfully pass a job interview, how to design and write an effective CV or know how to network when participating in a selection process: these are some of the key areas addressed in the employment workshops organised quarterly for students by the
Observatory.
Taught by professionals with practical experience in the different areas discussed, the aim is for participants to acquire effective, flexible and upto-date tools tailored to the real needs of business today.
Find Out! study days
The objective of this activity is to strengthen ties between the faculties and their work experience partners, in order to enhance our students’
employability and enable them to acquire some of the day to day skills necessary in the job market.
The Observatory addresses issues such as “Attitude” and “Direction” to introduce students to the idea of their own personal career path.
The Find Out! study days are held in the centres and are divided into three sections:
- Information on services and employment and work experience units on Campus, taught by managers and technicians from these units.
- Skills training (teamwork, attitudes, job interviews, etc.) taught by professionals with daily experience of these matters.
- Graduates’ experiences. Recounted by students who have passed through the halls of the UA, studying the degrees offered at the centre in
question, and have found work through paid schemes or self-employment. Sharing opinions, advice, etc.
Self-Employment and Business Creation
In terms of entrepreneurship, the Observatory works on several fronts, always in collaboration with companies, associations and external centres dedicated to the promotion of entrepreneurship. Once again, the aim is to network and to strengthen the ties between businesses and the
University.
- Seeding entrepreneurship. Programmes aimed at first year students, which include dynamic activities such as entrepreneurial experiences
and idea generation. The aim is to present the option of self-employment as an alternative to paid employment.
- Introduction to Business Creation. Through courses and study days for students with an idea or a project who are interested in learning
about the different avenues for creating a business. We look at how to develop business plans and carry out feasibility studies, the possibilities for
external financial support and future communication strategies, etc.
- Consolidation of the Company. Advanced programmes for businesses already in existence, but also open to anyone who is interested.
These focus on developing management talent through leadership and teamwork. They also present advanced tools for developing the business
product, entrepreneurship opportunities offered by the Internet and funding forums, etc.
Yuzz Alicante Programme
The Yuzz programme comprises eight months of training and a panel of experts who are available 24 hours a day for the selected participants. It is
an initiative of the Banesto and Movistar Foundation, coordinated in Alicante by the Employment Observatory in collaboration with local partners
such as the Local Development Agency and the UA Science Park, and associates such as the Europa House apartment hotel, European Business
and Innovation Centres and the UA General Foundation.
077
Based at the Alicante Town Council’s Business Incubator, the programme provides the twenty young people selected to participate
with an amazing opportunity. Over the course of the eight month programme, they are given the support necessary to develop
their ideas in the market through access to a network of professional experts offering personalised advice and tutorials, corporate
training, a platform for online collaboration and administrative and legal support in the event that the idea can be implemented as
a business project.
An expert jury selects the winning project in Alicante, and the prize is a trip to Silicon Valley and access to the national final with
prizes of ten thousand, twenty thousand and thirty thousand Euros, allocated for implementation of the project.
Currently, the Observatory is organising the third Yuzz programme in Alicante, with twenty participants and fifteen business projects.
The Yuzz programme is announced twice a year.
Radio programme “The Business Gardener”
In collaboration with the Polytechnic University College, two entrepreneurs from Observatory programmes have launched and now
run a radio programme by and for entrepreneurs.
Aimed at people who are interested in creating their own business or have already set one up, this new means of communication
with students and the general public includes interviews, news, famous quotes and experiences, and is run with the support and
collaboration of the Employment Observatory.

perfecting music studies and contributing to the promotion of musical culture within the University. Formed by 50 young musicians, the OFUA’s fundamental purpose is training. It serves as a meeting ground for musicians from the University and from the
music conservatories and music schools in the province. Currently directed by Mihnea Ignat (Craiova, 1980), a young conductor
trained in Bucharest and Vienna, the orchestra made its debut at the Christmas Concert held in the Nuestra Señora de Gracia
church on the 16th of December 2005, performing works by Schubert, Fauré and Handel, together with the University Choir.
In 2006, the orchestra performed in the Teatro Principal in Alicante, giving a concert in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of
the birth of Mozart. In the same year, the orchestra also held an exchange with the University of Valencia Philharmonic Orchestra
as part of the latter’s 10th anniversary celebrations, performing a concert for the University of Valencia senate.

Alina Artemeyeva and Madarys Morgan (piano), Ye Xin, Eszter Stankowsky and Erzhan Kulibaev (violin), and the soprano Galyna
Gurina.
The most recent developments in the OFUA programme have been invitations to participate in prestigious national and international festivals, taking the University Orchestra to important venues in the province and to auditoriums in Murcia and Zaragoza, in

Transport
You can get to the University of Alicante by bus (several urban and inter-urban routes) as well as by the Cercanías local train from
certain places.
UNIVERSITY TRANSPORT from other locations to the University of Alicante is run by student associations, town halls or transport
companies.
BUS
The bus services are either regular or specifically dedicated to university transport and in the latter case only normally run during term
time. The University of Alicante, due to its location next to the A-7 dual carriageway, has excellent road links with the city of Alicante
and other towns.
LOCAL TRAIN
The C-3 Cercanías local train service run by Renfe links Alicante with San Vicente del Raspeig (approx. 9 minutes) and has an unstaffed station in the UA Campus expansion area
(approx. 600 metres away), with trains every 40 to 55 minutes from Monday to Friday (16
trains/day). There are less trains and a less frequent service on Saturdays, Sundays and
Bank Holidays (10 trains/day).
You can also connect with other towns in the province by changing trains to the C-1
Cercanías Local Train service (Torrellano, Elche, Crevillente, Albatera, Catral, Callosa de
Segura and Orihuela).
Timetable of the local C-1 and C3 services: web.ua.es/en/oia/transporte-universitario/
line-c-3-of-renfe-vicinities.html
Users of this line can use the free Uni@BUS service with shuttle buses connecting the
Unstaffed Station to the heart of the Campus (Storytelling Wood, Museum, Aulario II Lecture Building and Sports Centre) in approximately 7 minutes.
Uni@Bus timetable: web.ua.es/en/oia/transporte-universitario/line-c-3-of-renfe-vicinities.html
Renfe offers university students the Abono Estudio, a card which allows you to acquire a quarterly voucher (valid for calendar quarters) that allows you to make as many journeys as you like on the chosen route.
For more information about the Abono Estudio:
Customer Service Office
Phone: 902 320 320 o 968 97 52 99 (Timetable: 7.00 am. to 11 pm.).

RIDING TO THE UA BY BIKE FROM SAN VICENTE DEL RASPEIG
June 2007 saw the start of the BICISANVI, a free bicycle loan system promoted by the Valencian Energy Agency and San Vicente del
Raspeig Town Hall. It is designed to promote bicycle use in San Vicente, with the consequent energy savings and reduced environmental impact. Bikes can be borrowed and returned at the following points:

- Plaza Juan Pablo II.
- General Library University of Alicante.
- Halt University.
- Plaza Huerto de Los Leones.

To take part in the bicisanvi programme you have to register as a user and be issued with BICISANVI at one of the Customer
Service offices.
For more information, please ring: 965 665 230 (Mondays to Fridays – 9 am. to 2 pm.) or visit:
www.bicisanvi.es
ACCESS TO UA FROM ALICANTE CITY WITH BICYCLE
From April 2013 the Department of Environment of the City of Alicante has commissioned
ALABICI service at the University of Alicante. From now on all users of ALABICI, especially the
students of the University, you can go to the Campus, from Alicante and vice versa using this
121
municipal service bikes and bike lane network in the City. There have been installed three halts of the municipal bicycle rental on Campus: Sports Zone, Social Sciences Building and among the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters III and the Faculty of Health Sciences.
The maximum usage time is 2 hours.
To use the service Alabici must register as a user and get the card for access to the service.
More information on: http://alabici.labici.net
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR UNIVERSITY TRANSPORT
Every year, the Regional Ministry for Business, Universities and Science aids university transport by offering grants to already existing
transport services or those founded to transport students from their places of residence to the universities where they are studying.
This means that the students using said services benefit from reduced ticket prices.
These grants can be applied for by town halls, university student’s associations, user cooperatives and users dedicated to university
transport, as well as for those services not involving any of the above, permanent regular public transport (in this case there will be a
discount of at least 25% on the official fare).
In order to take advantage of these discounts, you need to belong to the corresponding association or have a university transport card.
As well as the financial assistance provided by the Ministry, you should contact the company providing the service to enquire about
vouchers offering a discount on individual journeys.
INFORMATION POINTS
The Student Information Office actively works towards providing access to all the information you need: studies, activities, courses,
university regulations, accommodation, financial aid and grants, etc. as well as university transport options.
The Student Council Transport Committee is an umbrella organisation for its member associations, which represent over 16,000
students who travel to and from the Campus on public transport every day.
The information provided below refers to the 2012-2013 academic year, as, at the time of publishing (May 2013), the associations
and transport companies that would be offering or managing the services for this academic year had not been confirmed. You should
therefore confirm the information for the 2013-2014 academic year at the following places:
- The Student Information Office. Phone: 965 903 456 (Aulario II Lecture building).
- The Student Council Transport Committee. Phone: 965 903 675 (Aulario I Lecture building).
- The Information Points of the Departments of Youth Affairs/Education at your Town Hall.
More information: http://web.ua.es/en/oia/transporte-universitario/university-transport.htmlén en: www.ua.es/oia/es/transpDuring the academic year these timetables may change. Therefore, if you have any doubts, please check with the corresponding
association / body or company.
Alicante and metropolitan area (TAM)
Transport is integrated with the TAM (Metropolitan Alicante Transport) system that connects Alicante and its metropolitan area (El
Campello, Sant Joan d’Alacant, San Vicente del Raspeig and Mutxamel).
Several bus routes serve the University Campus:
- Route 24 Alicante-University-San Vicente del Raspeig.

From other areas
Road transport services are usually run by local associations or bodies that channel the financial assistance for university transport
(provided annually by the Regional Ministry for Business, Universities and Science) and which offer significant discounts on normal
ticket prices. In some cases, you must be a member to benefit from discounts, while in others you merely have to identify yourself as
a student. Contact the Association or Body closest to your place of residence.
As well as the transport services run by local associations/bodies, some towns have regular services that go to or pass by the University. These companies usually offer travel vouchers that give discounts on normal ticket prices.

ADMINISTRATIVE, ACADEMIC
& TEACHING ASPECTS
Administrative, academic
& teaching aspects
This section deals with the most common issues involved in
academic and administrative procedures. Most of these procedures are regulated by specific norms that can be consulted
in the Academic Rules and Regulation Manual, which can be
consulted at:
sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/academic-regulations-and-procedures-of-the-university-of-alicante.html
The Universities Organic Law deals with the topic of students in Title VIII. Article 46 specifically regulates students’ rights and duties.
From this section, it is particularly worth highlighting the following:
1. “Study is a right and a duty for university students”.
2. “The Statutes and organisation and working regulations (of
universities) must develop the rights and duties of students
as well as the mechanisms necessary to ensure these”.
Specifically, the University of Alicante Statute, in its Title IV
Chapter III deals with students as part of the University Community and Section 2 in particular defines their duties and rights.
Amongst others, students have a right to:
a) To receive an adequate education in science, technical
and cultural.
b) Participation in management and programming of teaching, as well as quality control and teaching faculty, according to the procedure time.
c) To be assisted during their training through an effective system of guidance and monitoring of cross-cutting nature of their
profession, to complete the comprehensive training and teaching as a critique of and students and as preparation for professional activities.
d) To receive an objective assessment of their academic performance and to exercise the remedies therefor, as the established procedure.
e) Knowing in advance the syllabus of the subjects or subjects that provide enrollment and completion dates of the assessment tests.
f) The evaluation of academic performance based on published and objectives and will tend to formative assessment and continuous, understood as a teaching-learning process. In the Degree students may enroll three times in the same subject. Quarter
enrollment will grace shall have successfully completed the first 120 credits of the degree.
139
Timetables, assignment of lecturers
and exam calendar
The timetable establishes the distribution of subjects over a period of time. It is worked out in four-monthly terms or annually
for each academic year, indicating study year and group, head
lecturers and all other lecturers per subject, as well as exam
dates and rooms where the subject is to be taught.
The periods within which the teaching timetable must be drawn
up (generally between April and May of the previous year) are
established in the Academic Calendar and are approved by the
Board of Governors.
By designing the timetables in the established periods, students are able to choose and organise their academic year
more easily.
The directions of the centers will appoint a lecturer who will be
in charge of organising the timetables and exam calendar for
each curriculum or course. These timetables will be approved
by the Centre’s Board or a delegated committee and are final.
Student representatives must be involved in the drawing up of
timetables and exam dates.
Exam dates can only be changed for justifiable reasons (e.g.:
due to a change in the Spanish university entrance exam dates), and until 15 days before the initially set date. In any case,
any modifications would only set back the start dates and
would be published on the notice boards.
If you have any doubts concerning these issues, please go to
your centre’s secretariat. You can also obtain specific inform
tion from the corresponding centre’s webpage (www.ua.es/
en/centros/) or more generally from the Student Information
Office webpage:
http://web.ua.es/en/oia/academic-schedules/lecture-schedules-and-examination-dates.html
·
Assigning and changes in groups
For degree courses in which the same subjects are taught both in the morning and in the afternoon timetables, students are
divided into the two groups in such a way that they both contain a similar number of students.
Priority will be given to election time group students with higher grades of access or transcript.
Some centers allow the possibility of requesting group change if good cause exists for it set a deadline for applications (available
at your secretariat).
Circumstances that may justify a change in group are generally: a clash with working hours, transport difficulties, federation or
university sporting activities, a clash with other official studies or any other justifiable reasons: disability, need to care for a family
member, etc.
·
Teaching and lecturers
The Departments are teaching units responsible for coordinating the teaching of their field of knowledge (Title.I Chap.III Art.13
of the UA statutes).
Each subject taught as part of any degree course is integrated within a department which is responsible for appointing the teaching staff and ensuring that the latter fulfil all their teaching duties.
Teaching is a right and duty of the faculty of the University, which shall exercise academic freedom, no restrictions other than
those established in the Constitution and laws, and those derived from the organization of education by the competent organs
of the University (LOU. Art. 33.2 y Title. III Chap. I Sect. 1ª Art.107 of the EUA).

You can find out which department is in charge of teaching a specific subject by:
- Asking at the secretariat of the centre where you are registered.
- Visiting the “Admissions and Studies” webpage (www.ua.es/en/estudios/) on the UA’s website. Go to the section that contains your curriculum and look for the subject you wish to consult.
Each department has an Administrative Secretariat from which you can obtain information about any issue related to the
department’s classes or organisation.
Most departments have their own webpage with information about lecturers, studies, location, administration staff, useful links, etc.
www.ua.es/en/centros/
The Head of Department and the Departmental Council are responsible for the quality and fulfilment of the teaching hours assigned to their department’s lecturers (Tit.II Cap.IV Sec.I of the UA Statutes). Consequently, if you wish to report any deficiency
in this regard, you should inform these bodies.
·
Continuous Assessment (undergraduate)
In the degrees has been established the system of “continuous assessment” as a system of acquiring knowledge and skills in
the final examination can not account for more than 50% of the final grade.
This evaluation system committed to the concept of “learning to learn” rather than the mere accumulation of knowledge. It
enhances the class sessions more participatory and non-contact teaching and independent learning by the student seeking
information, group work or on-line survey effort.
It gives more importance to the tutored, continuous assessment, preparation of papers and projects either individually or in
groups and use of ICT (Information and Communication).
·
Tutorials
The Board of Governors will establish teaching duties, both as regards actual teaching as well as tutorials and student attendance, in accordance with Art. 145.3 of the UA Statutes. This is applicable to all lecturers with the exception of those who also
carry out an academic role (Vice-Chancellor, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Dean, Head, etc), who will be totally or partially exempt from
teaching duties and attending tutorials (Art. 161.2).
University of Alicante students have the right to be assisted during their training through an effective system of orientation (Art.
166.c).
For subjects that involve work placements in companies or institutions, the student is entitled to custody, during the corresponding period of the practice, by a college professor and a professional who provides services in the enterprise, institution or entity
which performs the same. (RD 1707/2011).
Each lecturer’s tutorial timetables will be published on the corresponding centre’s notice board, in accordance with the Order of
29 March 1983. This information is also available at each department’s administrative secretariat as well as on the webpage of
certain departments. Increasingly higher numbers of lecturers publish their tutorial timetables on Campus Virtual.
First-year students may make use of the “Tutorial Action
Programme” by requesting the allocation of a tutor/professor when they register. The tutor/professor will advise
and support the student with regard to his/her personal,
academic and professional developments, as well as
helping him/her to adapt to university social life.

Most activities benefiting from recognition of credits are organised by the University of Alicante itself, although other institutions
and/or universities are sometimes involved in the recognition of activities.
Examples of the latter are the summer courses run by the Xarxa Joan Lluís Vives university network (Catalan language area) and
which are recognised by all of them.

Credits-Recognition,
Validation and
Conversion
RECOGNITION OF CREDITS
With the degree qualifications the concept maintained until now of validation/conversion has been replaced by the concept
of recognition.
Recognition of credits can occur when a student accesses a official degree course with subjects (credits) already passed in the
same or in another official degree qualification or in university qualifications that are being phased out (4-year degrees, 3-year
degrees, etc.).
Criteria for the recognition of credits between degree courses:
• When a student accesses a degree qualification with credits obtained from other degree courses in the same branch of
knowledge, then the basic subjects passed will be recognised.
• When a student accesses a degree qualification in another branch of knowledge, then those subjects that are common to both
branches of knowledge will be recognised.
• Non-basic subjects (obligatory or optional) will be recognised taking into account the correspondence between the competences and knowledge acquired (similarity between subjects).
• Subjects corresponding to the transversal competences or knowledge will also be recognised (at the UA, level of foreign language, competences in new technologies and oral and written expression).
• It is envisaged to recognize credits in official titles of degree courses taken at Higher Level Vocational Training in Art Studies and
University Degrees. Also provides the ability to recognize credit for professional experience accredited.
Criteria for the recognition of credits between courses that are being phased out (4-year degrees, 3-year degrees, etc) and
degree courses.
• The “conversion tables” included in the degree “fact files” will be applied when a student converts to the degree qualification
replacing his/her qualification.
• In other cases, the subjects passed in qualifications that are being phased out will be recognised according to the similarity
between the knowledge associated with the topics and/or subjects studied by the student and those contained in the degree
course study plan that he/she has accessed (similarity between subjects).
The credits recognised will retain their original rating and if this is written then it will be converted to a numerical rating (AP (P)
=6, NT (G) =8, SB (E) =9.5).
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
When a student accesses a degree qualification with subjects already passed in other unfinished official university courses and
these are not the object of recognition, then they will be transferred to his/her new student record, so that they appear in the
academic documents issued, especially European Degree Supplement (EDS).
REQUESTS FOR THE RECOGNITION AND TRANSFER OF CREDITS
Students shall present their requests for the recognition and/or transfer of credits in the Secretariat of the Centre (Faculty/University School) in the period laid down by the University for each academic year, normally coinciding with the registration deadlines.
Documentation:
• Subject programme/s stamped by the Centre where it/they were studied or by the Department responsible for teaching it.
• Personal Academic Certificate issued by the centre of origin or certified photocopy. (Between University of Alicante courses the
student record stamped by the Centre of origin will be sufficient).
• Photocopy of the official study plan publication stamped by the Centre.
The documentation can be simplified when dealing with courses studied at the University of Alicante itself.
Requests for the recognition and transfer of credits will be dealt with by the Centre Committees created to do so.
UA Regulations.
Academic Policy Manual.
sga.ua.es/en/academic-regulations/eees/recognition-and-transfer/recognition-and-credit-trasnferencia.html
VALIDATION AND CONVERSION
The concepts of validation/conversion are restricted to the incorporation of subjects between courses that are being phased out
(4-year degrees, 3-year degrees, etc.).
Conversion occurs when the incorporation takes place between subjects studied for the same qualification, while validation
occurs between different qualifications.
Both validation and conversion are granted according to the similarity in content and academic weighting between the subject
passed and the subjects to be validated/converted.
The original marks are retained in both cases.
The request and resolution procedure is similar to that for the recognition of credits.

Assessment, examinations and marks
ASSESSMENT
The new degree courses use the continuous assessment system, where the final mark for the subject consists of:
1. Assessment of all practical activities carried out by students during the course through work done, oral expositions and resolution of problems.
2. Continuous assessment of students on the basis of their participation in and involvement with the teaching-learning process.
3. Final or partial examination or examinations. Its/their percentage weighting for the mark shall not exceed 50% of the final mark.
UA regulation for creating degree courses (Art. 16.1.f).
www.boua.ua.es/pdf.asp?pdf=punto_7_1_normativa_implantacion_titulos_grado.pdf
The criteria used for assessment will be made available to students before the start of the course in the “subject fact file” that can
be accessed through their “Campus Virtual” or in the “Subjects and Access” section of the UA website.
www.ua.es/en/estudios/index.html
With the study plans being phased out (3-year degrees. 4-year degrees, etc) the traditional assessment system based on final
and/or partial examinations is maintained, although the professor can take the work done by students into account when deciding the final mark.
CURRICULUM EVALUATION BY REPORT COMPENSATION
An application for compensation shall be made by application addressed to the Chancellor, which shall contain the credit to be
approved, and will befiled at the Registry of the University of Alicante, may be given only once, and meeting certain requirements
and in no case be optional credits, Placement and Final Degree or career.

are signed by the professor responsible for the subject and by the secretary of the centre and filed in the secretariat.
Once the marks have been published and the review calendar finalised, the professor responsible for the subject will draft the
official certificate, sign it and hand it to the Secretariat of the centre.
The academic calendar lays down the deadlines for completing and handing in the certificates. From that moment the marks
are official and definitive.

course studied, the subjects passed and the marks awarded, possible transfers and award of the degree, where appropriate.
The academic record is prepared, kept and filed in the administrative secretariat of the centre (faculty or university school).
Students can check the details of their academic records by accessing the “Campus Virtual”. They can also request information
about their record from the secretariat of their centre at any time.
PERSONAL ACADEMIC CERTIFICATE
