The PTS Campus & Infrastructure

Since 2014, the faculty has been housed in an iconic, award-winning building within the Health Sciences Technology Park (PTS), one of the few campuses of its kind in Europe.

• Location: Av. del Conocimiento, s/n, 18016 Granada, Spain.

• Modern Facilities:

• Clinical Simulation Center: A world-class center where students practice in "simulated hospitals" using high-fidelity mannequins and clinical scenarios before patient contact.

• Research Institutes: Includes the ibs.GRANADA (Granada Biomedical Research Institute) and the Biomedical Research Center (CIBIC).

• Biosanitary Library: A massive, ultra-modern resource center with extensive digital medical archives.

Healthcare Pillar: Teaching Hospitals

Clinical training at UGR is deeply integrated into the Andalusian Health Service (SAS), using two of Spain’s most advanced hospitals.

• Hospital Universitario Clínico San Cecilio: Located directly across the street from the Faculty on the PTS campus, allowing students to move from lecture halls to clinical wards in minutes.

• Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves: A massive tertiary care referral center for the entire South of Spain, renowned for its transplant units and advanced surgery.

• Educational Engine: Clinical rotations begin in the 3rd year, with the intensity increasing each year until the 6th-year clinical internship (Rotatorio).

Fee Structure and Costs (Estimated 2025/2026)

As a public university in Andalusia, UGR offers some of the most affordable fees in Europe, particularly for residents.
