The place where you study is important. It is there you will spend some of the best years of your life, enjoying unforgettable experiences and acquiring the skills to become a great professional. Since its very beginnings, the UFV has been dedicated to creating one of the best university campuses in Europe.  

Stretching over 23 hectares, the UFV has created a unique space for interdisciplinary learning and companionship. The faculties are placed close to each other, students from all degrees meet and mingle on the streets of the campus, encouraging interaction and engagement. There are also an ample variety of places for study (the Library, the Square, the Santander Work Café, the common areas of various buildings, etc).  

There are also a wide range of cafes and eateries (the Central building, Colegio Mayor, Sports Centre, E Building, Rodilla, The Garden and several food trucks in the greenspace) that serve the entire university community and offer a place for informal meeting between student, professors and university personnel.  

We also have ample parking, currently being expanded, sports facilities, and soon the UFV University Chapel and the CRAI building that will house the UFV library, seminar spaces and group work rooms.  

We believe that higher education is about much more than merely “getting a degree”; it is learning to live in adult society, developing the capacity for dialogue and debate, sharing ideas, exploring new interests. An enriching and varied experience of meeting new people, learning and new vistas of the world around us. The campus is a fundamental aspect of this experience.
