Castelló is the capital of the province of the same name, a quiet,
accessible Mediterranean city of nearly 200,000 inhabitants in
which you can move from one end to another in minutes.
Castelló: town and surroundings
Castelló is situated 65 km north of
Valencia and 285 km south of
Barcelona.
It is a pleasant, sunlit town lying
between the Desert de les Palmes hills
and the Mediterranean Sea with a
pleasant temperature of around 27 ºC
in the summer and 18 ºC in the winter.
Castelló: town and surroundings
• Surroundings
The province of Castelló is a blend of seaside
and mountain landscapes. Along the coast,
the landscape combines large areas of
orange groves with 120 km of excellent
beaches.
Inland, the scenery changes dramatically. The
province of Castelló is the second most
mountainous in Spain and its inland areas
have a rich cultural, historical and landscape
heritage.
Castelló: town and surroundings
• Connections
The city of Castelló is well
connected by road and rail to
other important towns and
cities around Spain and
Europe.
The nearest airport is Manises, in
Valencia (60km).
There are several trains between
Castelló and the big cities like: Valencia
(55min), Alicante (2,35hrs), Barcelona
(2,15hrs) or Madrid (3hrs) with various
departures every day.
THE CAMPUS
The campus
• The campus in the city
The campus is located very near the city centre and is less than 5
minutes from the bus station and the train station for local and
long distance connections.
The city’s structure and size allow easy movement from one
place to another on foot, by bicycle, by bus network or by TRAM
(ecological city transport).
• The UJI, a single-campus University
The campus
The UJI offers all its
state-regulated
courses on a modern
campus, designed as
a single unit,
bringing together the
most up-to-date
academic, research,
cultural and social
facilities.
The campus
The campus, covering 176,000 m2 has 4 faculties and many
research and management buildings designed around a central
13,000 m2 garden area.
It is a green, sustainable campus that promotes the use of
renewable energies, with recycling points for the recovery of waste
materials.
Throughout the campus, access has been incorporated for people
with disabilities, with no architectural barriers to hinder their
movement.
The campus
• Official languages
The UJI’s mother tongue is Catalan, but both Catalan and Spanish are
used in academic teaching, and students are free to choose which
language they want to express themselves in. Overall, around 21% of
undergraduate classes, 13% of master’s classes and 9% of PhD
programme classes are in Catalan. Lectures in the master’s courses are
usually in Spanish because many of our students are from overseas.
Teaching in English
Three high performance student
groups, called ARA, are taught in
English in the degrees of
Business,
Engineering
in
Industrial
Technologies
and
Psychology.
Five master’s degrees are taught
entirely in English.

management, in accordance with the philosophy of total quality and,
more specifically, in agreement with the criteria established by the
European Foundation for Quality Management”.

•Quality Management System UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2000
•The library is certified as complying with the ISO 9001:2000 standard

AENOR (Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification)
together with the Sports Service.
Research and innovation
• Research projects
The UJI is the sixth-ranked Spanish university for
R&D projects per tenured academic staff
member.
The UJI has 159 research groups with a high
scientific output: 288 research projects and more
than 578 ongoing R&D contracts with companies
in 2012.
Research
is
promoted
through
the
implementation
of
world-leading
R&D
programmes: centres such as the Institute of
Ceramics Technology, the Institute for Pesticides
and Water resources, the ESPAITEC and the
scheme to set up a State network of logistics
platforms commissioned by the Spanish Ministry
of Public Works have become a reference in this
area.
Research and innovation
Research & Development
The UJI is among the first universities in Spain in obtaining external
resources for research and development per teacher.
Promoting industrial innovation and R&D under a plan worth over
€600,000, has encouraged the creation a network service (“Xarxa de
serveis”), a set of services for the promotion of scientific and
technological work in local businesses.
In collaboration with the mobility support services of the seven
universities in the Valencian Community, the network of Valencian
universities for the promotion of research, development and
innovation (RUVID) can provide information and advice to foreign
researchers who move to Castelló to conduct research.
