Overview<\/h2>\n

The University of Alicante (Universitat d’achat), founded in 1979, is a modern and dynamic public university in San Vicente del Raspeig near Alicante, in the Valencian Community. With around 27,500 students (including approximately 2,700 international students), it is especially known for strong offerings in economics, social sciences, technology, and humanities. The campus is compact (about 1 km\u00b2) and designed around sustainability principles, with research infrastructure that connects students to projects beyond the classroom.
