Anyone know anything about Alicante university?

My 18 year old daughter doing shortlist of UK Universities for start next year. She wants to go well away from home (charming eh!) so I'm thinking why not shove her off to spain (we have a place unoccupied within 25mins of Alicante), that way she'll never need to come home and we can go and bother her instead!!! (joke).

Serious point though - we hadn't thought about spain at all. UK uni's offer lots of incentives to foreigners to fill their places, so I wondered if Spanish uni's might do anything similar for brits? (they're prob not as daft as we are though).

Alicante website www.ua.es/en/index.html very informative and excellent translation to english but once you get to the nitty gritty via links it's all in spanish. Tried phoning but their attempts at english and my attempts at spanish not productive.

Anyone got family gone the spanish uni route?

Hi,

I know Alicante University does teach in English for some courses as I know they are part of the Erasmus scheme for studying abroad, it would probably be best to go through the Erasmus website and see what is says on there. I know that some Spanish universities will not accept ppl who have not done Spanish social studies, but through Erasmus you would be able to bypass this requirement. I went away to Denmark through Erasmus as part of my course in Liverpool university and I got incentives off the European Government, but I’m not sure if your daughter would be able to obtain these incentives if she was to do the full course abroad, must say though I had an amazing time going abroad for the semester through Erasmus.

Alicante University seems like a great place to go to university at, my sister is currently applying for next year and has taken a look at Alicante but has decided on Barcelona university because they had a better course for her.

All the best and I hope you get something sorted out, if you have any more questions send me a mail and I will help out if I can.
