At CEU UCH, we see university life as an opportunity to experience other cultures and that means, in addition to high-quality academic activities, we want to provide a truly international campus for our students. For us, as an international university in Valencia, it is a stimulating challenge for us to create spaces for cultural exchange in which students can enjoy sport, volunteering or other activities and feel right at home.
Find your community
If you already a CEU UCH student or you are coming to us as an Erasmus+ student, what could be better than meeting and getting to know other students? Use this link to join our Unibuddy community in Castellón, Elche or Valencia: you'll soon have a group of new friends who share your hobbies, interests, or language or who may even be from the same city or region as you!
When you arrive in a foreign country, it's not unusual to feel disoriented and to need some support. Some international students can suffer a culture shock, but this can be mitigated when you have the right tools to deal with it: study skills, soft skills, and self-awareness.
The University Guidance Service is present on all our campuses. Its staff can help you on your journey of learning and personal development. Their doors are always open to you: contact them whenever you need them.
