A new era for education in Torrevieja
For the first time in the city’s history, the University of Alicante (UA), Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), and the National Distance Education University (UNED) will share the same modern facilities.
Modern facilities for students and staff
The University Seat occupies the upper three floors and includes multiple classrooms, meeting rooms, staff offices, and a versatile hall. A highlight is the rooftop “ágora universitaria” – an open space for cultural and academic activities.
The City Council has invested more than €347,000 in high-quality furniture and advanced technological equipment.
Strengthening Torrevieja as a university city
The new hub will significantly expand educational opportunities. UMH will introduce a new bilingual degree in Business Management and Tourism, while UA and UNED will expand their programmes. This development is expected to bring hundreds of students into the city centre daily.
A sustainable and future-proof project
The building has been constructed with strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. It marks a major milestone in Torrevieja’s ambition to become a true university city on the Costa Blanca.
