WELCOME
The history of the University of Valladolid stretches back over seven centuries during which time it has grown and flourished, thanks to its ability to adapt and expand, and thanks to the warm welcome afforded by its people. Today it is one of the leading centres of Higher Education in Spain, offering over 100 degrees, 50 post-graduate masters and 80 doctorate programmes, boasting a broad network of international relations, research centres, together with wide-ranging sports and cultural facilities and a rich architectural and documentary heritage. All of this combines to provide an outstanding academic environment, equal to the oldest universities in Europe in terms of history, excellence and quality of research. (www.uva.es).
Now the capital of the Autonomous Region of Castilla y León, one of the largest regions in the European Union, the city of Valladolid, like the university, has over the years played a leading role in history. Through the city have passed such illustrious figures as King Philip II, the Catholic Monarchs, Christopher Columbus, and such renowned artists and writers as Juan de Juni, Gregorio Fernández, José Zorrilla, Miguel Delibes, to name but a few.
Valladolid has not only managed to preserve its history but more importantly has been able to adapt to the 21st century, to become a magnificent city as reflected in the guide “Valladolid. Gran ciudad” (Valladolid, a Great City). This has meant facing up to challenges and risks as well as undertaking major commitments, such as those we offer our students, and which we present in this guide.
We at the Vice-Chancellor’s Office for Institutional Relations, and specifically at the International Relations Office directed by Mar Fernández Sainz, have pleasure in offering you this Foreign Students’ Guide as your first contact with our university, aimed at guiding and helping any foreign students who wish to study at the University of Valladolid, providing you with an insight into the services and facilities at your disposal together with the scientific and cultural resources available.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1. ERASMUS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF VALLADOLID
The ERASMUS programme was established in 1987 and although it was formally adopted only shortly before the beginning of the academic year 1987/8, it was still possible for 3,244 students to participate in Erasmus in its first year.
The ERASMUS Programme, together with a number of other independent
programmes, was incorporated into the Socrates programme when that programme was established in 1995. The Socrates programme ended on 31 December 1999 and was replaced with the Socrates II programme on 24 January 2000. That, in turn, was replaced by the Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013 as from 1st January 2007.
In the past twenty years, well over one-and-a-half million students - 60% of
ERASMUS being female - have benefited from ERASMUS grants. There are currently more than 2300 higher education institutions participating in ERASMUS across the 31 countries involved in the new Lifelong Learning programme.
The aim of the ERASMUS Programme is to encourage and support academic
mobility of higher education students and teachers within the European Union, the European Economic Area countries of Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein as well as candidate countries (such as Turkey).
To participate in the ERASMUS programme students must be studying for a degree
or diploma at a higher education institution and must have completed their first year. They also have to be a citizen of one of the eligible countries.
Students join the ERASMUS programme study for a period from 3 months to an
academic year in another European country. The ERASMUS programme guarantees that the period spent abroad is recognised by their university when they come back as long as they abide by terms previously agreed.
The Erasmus Programme has a number of specific objectives:
1. to improve the quality and to increase the volume of student and teaching staff mobility throughout Europe.
2. to improve the quality and increase the amount of multilateral cooperation between higher education institutions in Europe
3. to improve and increase cooperation between higher education institutions and enterprises
4. to spread innovation and new pedagogic practice and supports between universities in Europe
The programme fosters not only learning and understanding of the host country, but
also a sense of community among students from different countries. The ERASMUS experience is considered both a time for learning as well as a chance to socialize.
Some academics have speculated that former ERASMUS students will prove to be a powerful force in creating a pan-European identity; they will be the so-called 'ERASMUS generation'.
In 2004 the Erasmus Programme has been awarded with the “Príncipe de
Asturias” Prize for International Co-operation as recognition for being one of the most important cultural exchange programmes in the whole History of the world.
The University of Valladolid has actively taken part in the Erasmus Programme
since its creation, becoming the first European university in teachers' mobility and one of the leading institutions in students' mobility.
Furthermore, it sends and receives a great number of students in the frame of other
agreements signed with European and non-European universities. Students from the University of Valladolid participating in the international
programmes during the last ten years:

2. THE UNIVERSITY OF VALLADOLID AND ITS SURROUNDINGS
The University of Valladolid is located in the Region of Castile and Leon. It has four campuses in the cities of Valladolid, Palencia, Segovia and Soria. 2.1 CASTILE AND LEON
The Region of Castile and Leon is one of the 17 Spanish regions. It lies on the Northern Plateau of the Iberian Peninsula. With an extent of about 95,000 square kilometers and a population of about 2.5 million inhabitants, Castile and Leon is not only the largest region in Spain but also in the EU.
The Region of Castile and Leon comprising nine provinces (Avila, Burgos, Leon,
Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid and Zamora) covers a fifth of the whole of Spain.
The political union of Castile and Leon was established in the 13th Century, during
the reign of Fernando III ‘El Santo’. In the 15th Century, the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile and Leon joined after the
marriage of Isabel I of Castile and Fernando V de Aragon (The Catholic Monarchs), thus putting an end to the reconquest of present day Spain, which was still partially under Arab rule.
The 16th Century was a time of great prosperity for Castile and Leon. This was due
to the great wealth derived from its agriculture and cattle raising, together with the development of a thriving textile industry. This great prosperity was also a result of the conquest of America helped by the people of Castile and Leon.
Nowadays, there are four important State Universities in Castile and Leon: Burgos,
Leon, Salamanca, and Valladolid, and four private ones: the Catholic University of Avila, the University Pontificia of Salamanca, the SEK Tagore University in Segovia and the European University Miguel de Cervantes in Valladolid.
2.2 THE CITY OF VALLADOLID
The city of Valladolid, capital of the Region of Castile and Leon, is located in the centre of this region, 200 kms. Northwest of Madrid; and has a population of about 350,000 inhabitants.
It was founded by Count Pedro Ansúrez on the left bank of the Pisuerga river, close
to where it merges with the Douro river, during the reign of Alfonso VI of Castile (11th Century). Valladolid became important when it was the Court of the King of Castile at the end of the Middle Ages.
Throughout history, important events took place in the city of Valladolid: the
proclamation of Fernando III, ‘El Santo’ as King of Castile, the wedding of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel of Castile and Fernando of Aragon, the death of Christopher Colombus and the birth of Felipe II (1527) King of Spain.
10
During the reigns of Felipe II and Felipe III, the Court was located in Valladolid, because at that time it was the capital of Spain. Reminders of that time are the National Museum of Polychromatic Sculpture (former St. Gregory College), and the General Archives of the kingdom of Spain in Simancas. The Museum of Polychromatic Sculpture is one of the most important in the world. The General Archives Building, located 5 kms. from Valladolid, holds a large stock of documents relating to the history of Spain from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century.
Valladolid is now the capital of Castile and Leon and stands out from other Spanish
cities, because it has been able to combine the splendour of the past with the necessary progress and development of the present. It is now a modern city with important art and cultural treasures and it has developed cultural, economic and industrial centres.
Valladolid and its surroundings are renowned for the Spanish spoken here
considered to be the purest in Spain. Prestigious poets and writers from the past and present, such as Miguel de Cervantes, José Zorrilla, Gaspar Núñez de Arce, Rosa Chacel and Miguel Delibes, were born or lived here.
The University with its large student population makes the city exceptionally
friendly and lively. During the year, the student associations organise a wide range of cultural, sports and recreational activities. At weekends, students can enjoy its buzzing night life. The province of Valladolid is also internationally known for its variety of wines. Roast lamb with a good wine is a perfect example, among others, of the gastronomy of our region.
The climate in Valladolid ranges from cold winters with temperatures below 0º
C to very hot summers with average temperatures of around 30º C.
2.3 THE CITY OF PALENCIA
The city of Palencia, capital of the province of Palencia, is within close proximity to some wonderful countryside. To the North, you will find “La montaña palentina”, with peaks of over 2,000 metres. In the Southwest, “Tierra de Campos” and in the South, the area of “Cerrato”.
The city of Palencia has been inhabited since ancient times. Centuries ago, the
“vacceos”, the most advanced of the Celtic tribes, settled in this area, rich in natural resources. Palencia was greatly coveted by the Romans, the Visigoths and later by the Arabs.
In Palencia in 1208, King Alfonso VIII, a great driving force behind the social and
cultural development of the city, founded the first University of Spain and one of the oldest in Europe.
The city of Palencia with 80,000 inhabitants goes back to the times of the Roman
Empire. Until the last Century it was surrounded by a wall. However, nowadays new buildings and parks have replaced the old structures. The capital is well linked with the rest of Spain by road and railway.
Palencia is rich in art and monuments including a Diocesan Museum (medieval and
renaissance art), the Cathedral Museum, Museum of Palencia (archaeological museum),
11
Díaz Caneja Foundation (contemporary art), Jerónimo Arroyo Museum or Victorio Macho Museum.
Close to the city of Palencia, on the top of a hill 850 metres high, stands the “Cristo
del Otero”, a colossal statue of Christ, which was built in 1930 together with a small church. The vast expanse of “Tierra de Campos” can be seen from the top of this hill. “Monte el Viejo”, extraordinary lung of the city, is also visible from this point.
The province of Palencia extends over an area of 8,000 square km, with a
maximum altitude of 2,525 metres and a minimum of 700. It has a population of about 185,000 inhabitants.
Moreover, craftsmanship and folklore are two important aspects in the life of the province, notably the forge and silver works, the recovery of the spinning and blanket industry, famous during centuries, and also pottery.
Finally, the tourist routes of Palencia cannot be forgotten: the Route of the
reservoirs, the Romanic art in the North, the abandoned villages, the caves, “Tierra de Campos”, Roman villages, and the Pilgrims’ Road to Santiago. Gastronomy is a surprise for the traveller, too. Like its landscape, the Palencia cooking is also varied with a special emphasis on its lamb dishes. 2.4 THE CITY OF SEGOVIA
Segovia is located upon a limestone elevation that commands the expansive surrounding crop-covered plains. The first historical reference to the town of Segovia dates back to the year 192 B.C., when its Celt Iberian inhabitants were defeated by Roman forces. As a result of the subsequent two thousand years of existence and growth, Segovia has become one of the most monumental and picturesque towns in Spain. Having been declared a UNESCO World Heritage City, it is world-renowned for the ship-like appearance it projects, the Alcázar standing at its bow, the cathedral tower being its mainmast and the aqueduct its helm.
Likewise awaiting the visitor to Segovia are over forty Romanesque churches, dozens
of Renaissance fortress-residences and palaces and, above all, the town’s inimitable atmosphere, which invites one to leisurely roam the streets, where it would seem that time, rather than slowly passing by, had decided to come to a halt in the 16th Century.
Present-day Segovia has managed to retain its image of a quiet provincial capital, the
majority of its inhabitants being employed in the services sector, principally in catering for the needs of the great many tourists that flock here each year to enjoy all the town has to offer. 2.5 THE CITY OF SORIA
Soria is a small and peaceful city, located on the bank of the river Douro.
During the Middle Ages, Soria experienced its years of greatest prosperity of its history.
Today, it is a city with magnificent scenery and it also has beautiful Roman
buildings. Poets like Bécquer, Unamuno and Antonio Machado wrote about Soria
12
and were inspired by its landscape and monuments. The province of Soria is located in the Eastern part of the Region of Castile and
Leon and borders on the provinces of La Rioja, Zaragoza, Guadalajara, Segovia and Burgos. The province of Soria extends over an area of 10,306 km2, which is almost a tenth of the entire region, and lies at an altitude of 1,026 meters above sea level.
The province is divided into two large geographical areas, namely, the Sistema
Ibérico, with its Picos de Urbión, located in the North of the province, and the Sistema Central.
Because the province is located in the mountains and above sea level, Soria has
a continental climate with long winters and short summers. In July, temperatures average 20º C and in January 2º C.
In Soria you will find outstanding monuments such as Iglesia de Sto. Domingo,
Palacio de los Ríos y Salcedo, Iglesia de San Juan de Rabanera, Palacio de los Condes de Gomara, San Saturio...

THE UNIVERSITY OF VALLADOLID
General Information of the University of Valladolid is also available on Internet: www.uva.es 1. HISTORY
The University of Valladolid is one of the oldest in Spain, together with the Universities of Palencia, Salamanca and Lérida. During the 13th and 14th centuries these universities formed part of a great intellectual movement which developed in Western Europe.
The University of Valladolid was founded at the end of the 13th Century. In 1293,
the first documented reference was signed by King Sancho IV of Castile. This intellectual renaissance took place at the same time as the urban expansion and material development of the great Castilian towns, of which Valladolid is a clear example.
In the beginning, the different Faculties taught subjects such as Grammar,
Arithmetic, Latin and Sacred Scripture. Later, the city obtained both the royal approval and the papal bull for this centre. In 1346, Pope Clemente VI, at the request of the king Alfonso XI, granted the title of “General Studies” to the already existing studies in Valladolid. However, it was not possible to study Theology, because it was exclusively a privilege of the University of Paris. In 1417 when the Schism ended, Pope Martin V gave Valladolid permission to build the Faculty they desired. Likewise, the kings also provided funds for the centre, thus giving it certain economic independence.
In the 16th Century, the “Alma Mater” of Valladolid enjoyed its greatest moment of
splendour, when it was declared one of the three main Universities of the kingdom, together with Salamanca and Alcalá. In 1517, the first statute appeared, written in Latin, and later in Spanish. The Faculties of Medicine and Law achieved outstanding fame, which was also the result of the existence of the neighbouring Chancery. At the end of the 15th Century, Cardinal Mendoza set up the Santa Cruz College, which from the beginning was one of the most famous Spanish University institutions.
In 1770, under the reign of Carlos III, a general reform of the Spanish Universities
took place. Although this reform was not fully consolidated at the time, during the following decades the changes were remarkable. From the beginning of the 19th Century until 1857, the old University, which had been dominated by the peculiarities and the scholastic spirit and characterised by a certain independence was transformed into a lay, liberal and centralised University. In the midst of this transformation lawyers and doctors were trained. Later on, and also during this Century, technical studies became increasingly important. The University of Valladolid, located in a medium-size city with liberal trends, has increased rapidly its number of students, and is now the largest University in the Region of Castile and Leon. In the present academic year 2011-2012 it has 25,000 students and more than 2,500 professors distributed throughout the University centres of the four provinces.

European Community countries have agreements with the Spanish Social Security, which covers medical assistance. For their temporary stay in Spain, students must get the European card from the Social Security before leaving their countries.
It is essential that foreign students bring medical insurance from their own country.
Students, not in possession of Social Security in their own country, have to go to the International Relations Service on their arrival, to prove that they have private medical insurance. Private insurance can be also obtained in Valladolid. It costs approximately 40 €/month.
In the event of illness, students who are insured by the E.U. (and countries with Medical Assistance agreements with Spain) can go directly to the Social Security Centre nearest to their place of residence.
We enclose a list of all the Medical Centres of Valladolid, Palencia, Segovia and Soria.
To make use of the medical services, the student must be able to show at the
Medical Centre the Medical European Card or certificate stating that he/she is entitled to receive medical assistance in Spain, together with a copy of it and documentation to prove identity. The original document will be returned to the student and the Centre will keep the copy. LIST OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE CENTRES IN VALLADOLID EMERGENCIES (Tel. 112)
