Universitat Jaume I Facultat de Ciències de la Salut

Campus & Infrastructure

The health sciences buildings at UJI are among the most energy-efficient and technologically advanced in Spain.

• Simulation and Skills Lab: This is a core part of the UJI experience. The lab includes high-fidelity mannequins and simulated consultation rooms where students practice clinical interviews, physical exams, and emergency procedures from the very first years.

• Integrated Research Labs: The faculty is home to research groups focusing on neuroscience, skin biology, and public health. Students have direct access to these researchers through elective modules and final degree projects.

The "Jardí dels Sentits": The health buildings are organized around this "Garden of the Senses," providing a calm outdoor space for study and mental well-being, which the university emphasizes as part of its "Healthy University" initiative.

Healthcare Pillar: Teaching Hospitals

UJI works in close partnership with the public health system of the Generalitat Valenciana. Students rotate through a network of hospitals in the province of Castellón.

1. Hospital General Universitari de Castelló (HGUCS): The primary teaching hospital and the province's main reference center for high-complexity cases.

2. Hospital Provincial de Castelló: A specialized center known for its leadership in oncology, mental health, and ophthalmology.

3. Hospital de la Plana (Vila-real): A modern facility that provides a more community-focused clinical environment for rotations.

Hospital de Vinaròs: Offers students a view of healthcare delivery in a more decentralized, regional setting.

Fee Structure and Costs (Estimated 2025)

As a public university in the Valencian Community, tuition is based on the credit rate set by the regional government.

Note: Castellón is significantly more affordable than nearby Valencia or Barcelona. Rent for a private room in a shared flat typically ranges from €200 to €350 per month.

Student Life: Housing & Dining

The campus is designed for a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle, with most services located within a 10-minute walk.

• Accommodation:

• Residència Universitària Campus: Located directly on campus, offering single rooms with kitchens.

• Shared Flats: Most students live in the area between the campus and the city center (walking distance or a short tram ride).

• Dining:

• The Cafeteria de la Facultat de Salut is known for being one of the best on campus, offering healthy Mediterranean menus for students for approximately €6.50 – €8.00.
