The Vice Chancellor for International Relations, Rosa María Martínez, shows her satisfaction with the recovery of student mobility in this course with respect to the volume of students who came or went to other countries before the pandemic.
With the data updated today for the second quarter of the course still open, mobility has tripled compared to the previous course and is even 10% higher than that of 2019-2020, before the pandemic.
Among the Europeans who have chosen Alicante University for this year are the Germans, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy and France. Students from non-European countries that have chosen the UA include Chileans, Mexicans and Americans.
On the other hand, Alicante university students prefer destinations such as Poland and France mainly, in addition to the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy.
Among the first hundred students who have arrived, the UA is applying the usual reception protocol with total presence, in addition to the activities organized by the Centro Superior de Idiomas of the university that in collaboration with the Alicante City Council, have led them to visit the Castle of Santa Bárbara to have a panoramic view of the city.
The first foreigners of the course on campus are from 23 different nationalities, 1 in 4 are American and Japanese, and the rest European. These students choose UA because of its geographic location, because of the affordable cost of living compared to other communities, and because the supply in English continues to improve.
Countries that have limits due to the pandemic are offered online education as in Australia, which is still closed to the outside; and those who went to China and Japan have had to delay their mobility to the following semester.
