We’ll tell you the top universities to start your adventure.

Where are you going to knuckle down? The main names

In Valencia, university life is in the air everywhere you turn. If you’re looking for academic excellence and want to live close to your schools, these are the main options you should keep in mind:

University of Valencia (UV): science and research right on your doorstep

We’re talking about a historic institution with enormous influence. If your future lies in degree programmes such as Biological Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Pharmacy or Engineering, your natural habitat will be the Burjassot-Paterna Campus. This huge complex is home to a large proportion of the scientific talent of the UV, boasting world-class laboratories and facilities.

Catholic University of Valencia (UCV): diversity and a friendly atmosphere

Another extremely powerful alternative is the UCV, renowned for its wide range of single and double degree programmes. Its Godella Campus is the place to be if you’re looking to study Health Sciences, Education, Psychology, Law, Veterinary Science or Sports Science. It stands out for its modern facilities and a strong focus on professional practice.

Other top universities to round off the list

The Valencian ecosystem is vast. The city is home to other highly prestigious institutions:

• Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV): a leading institution for students in technology, creative arts and engineering, with a vast campus full of green spaces and sports facilities.
• ESIC Business & Marketing School: the perfect choice for future business, marketing and digital sector leaders.
• European University of Valencia (UEV) and CEU Cardenal Herrera: high-calibre private institutions that stand out for their innovation, personalised approach and direct links to the labour market.
