The Department of International Relations of the University of Valladolid is pleased to offer you this Guide for Foreign Students, in order to help you prepare your stay in Spain as well as possible. In this way we hope that your first days in our country will be pleasant and carefree.

Our University is located in the region of Castile and Leon, which was part of the former kingdom of Castile. This kingdom often played a leading role in important events, such as the discovery of America five centuries ago. Moreover, it played an outstanding role in the economic, political and cultural development of Modern Europe.

Present-day Valladolid is the seat of the Parliament of Castile and Leon; the centre of economic development, and also of industrial, agricultural and cultural activities in which the University plays a central role.

The Vice-Rector for International Relations of the University of Valladolid, María José Sáez Brezmes, extends a warm welcome to all foreign students who come to our city and wishes them a pleasant stay. We hope it will prove to be a valuable academic and cultural experience and that it will live up to your expectations.

One of the principal aims of the ERASMUS-SOCRATES Community Action

Programme, adopted in January 2000, is to organise the mobility of students, in order to

increase the number of students who will take a recognised part of their studies in

another eligible country.

The selection of ERASMUS-SOCRATES students is the responsibility of each

sending institution. Students can obtain financial support and they must comply with

the following requirements:

• Be a citizen of one of the State Members of the EU (or recognised by one of

the State Members as having a refugee or expatriate statute), of the EFTA

(Norway, Island or Liechtenstein) or of one of these countries: Hungary,

Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Cyprus, Latvia,

Estonia, Lithuania or Malta.

• Study at a University of a State Member of the EU, of an EFTA country, or

of an associate country.

• The student must pay the ordinary fees at the home University, so he or she

will not pay fees at the University of Valladolid.

• The ERASMUS-SOCRATES financial support is compatible with other

grants received by the student from the country of origin.

• The period of studies abroad will be of at least three months’ duration and

not more than twelve.

• Students must have completed at least one year at their home University.

• Those students who have been awarded an ERASMUS-SOCRATES grant

will not be able to participate again in the programme.

• The sending University recognises the studies carried out in the receiving

University, and the study programme (Learning Agreement) must be

established and approved before the student’s departure.

The development of the ERASMUS-SOCRATES programme has been

considerable since the date of approval.

ERASMUS-SOCRATES grants during the last ten years:

• In 1993/94: 300 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 1994/95: 350 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 1995/96: 400 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 1996/97: 450 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 1997/98: 480 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 1998/99: 490 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 1999/00: 527 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 2000/01: 615 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 2001/02: 626 students from the University of Valladolid

• In 2002/03: 732 students from the University of Valladolid

The destinations of our students in 2002/03, were as follows:

• Germany: 92

• Austria: 5

• Belgium: 59

• Denmark: 29

• France: 136

• Greece: 8

Likewise, our University received a number of foreign students though slightly

lower than the number of students from Valladolid who participated in the programme.

The University of Valladolid is located in the Region of Castile and Leon. It has

four campuses in the cities of Valladolid, Palencia, Soria and Segovia.

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 2.7 million inhabitants, Castile and Leon is not

only the largest region of Spain but also of the EU.

The Region of Castile and Leon formed by nine provinces (Avila, Burgos, Leon,

Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid and Zamora) occupies a fifth of the

Spanish territory.

The political union of Castile and Leon was established in the 13th Century, during

the reign of Fernando III ‘El Santo’.

Since the 15th Century, the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile and Leon were joined

together after the marriage of Isabel I of Castile and Fernando V de Aragon (The

Catholic Kings), thus putting an end to the reconquest of the current Spanish territory

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 with the help of the people of Castile and Leon.

Nowadays, four important State Universities are established in Castile and Leon:

Salamanca, Leon, Burgos and Valladolid, and four private ones: the University

Pontificia of Salamanca, the SEK Tagore University in Segovia, the Catholic University

of Avila and the European University Miguel de Cervantes in 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; it 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 its merging 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

Kings, Isabel of Castile and Fernando of Aragon, the death of Christopher Colombus

and the birth of Felipe II (1527) King of Spain.

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, which is

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.

Nowadays, Valladolid is 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

0ºC to very hot summers with average temperatures of around 30º C.

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 meters. 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 down 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 substituted the old structures. The capital is well linked with

the rest of Spain by road and railway.

Close to the city of Palencia, on the top of a hill 850 meters high, stands the "Cristo

del Otero", a colossal statue of a Christ, which was built in 1930 together with a small

church. The vast immensity 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 meters and a minimum of 700. It has a population of about

185,000 inhabitants.

Palencia is rich in art and monuments. Examples are: Diocesan Museum (medieval

and renaissance art), Museum of the Cathedral, Museum of Palencia (archaeological

museum), Díaz Caneja Foundation (contemporary art), Jerónimo Arroyo Museum or

Victorio Macho Museum.

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.

Segovia is located upon a limestone elevation that commands the expansive

surrounding cereal-producing plains. The first historical reference to the town of Segovia

dates back to the year 192 B.C., when its Celtiberian 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 as belonging to the Heritage of Mankind by UNESCO, 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.

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

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 20 º C and in January 2º C.

In Soria you will find outstanding monuments such as Iglesia de Sto. Domingo,

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 written reference that appeared on document 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 lived its biggest moment of

splendour, because 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 a transforming atmosphere continued to be felt. 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 2002-2003 it has 35,000 students and more than 2,000 professors

distributed throughout the University centres of the four provinces.

The University district of Valladolid comprises four University campuses:

Valladolid, Palencia, Soria and Segovia

To obtain the Police residence permit for students please follow the instructions

below:

- Make sure you have a student visa from the Spanish Embassy / Consulate in

your country before leaving.

- You must get a medical insurance covering foreign countries or purchase it

upon arrival.

- If your visa is valid for all your period of studies you should go to the Foreign

Office of the Ministry of Social Affaires (address in Valladolid: C/ Santuario, 6)

with your passport, a copy of your visa and a copy of your passport.

- If you are going to stay in Spain for more time than permitted in your visa, you

must obtain the Police student permit at the same office. You must go there as

soon as possible but always after having enrolled at the University of

Valladolid. The documents required are: passport (with a copy), copy of your

visa, university enrolment document, medical insurance, document which

makes prove of your solvent economical situation and three passport-size

photos.

European Community countries have agreements with the Spanish Social Security,

which covers the medical assistance. For their temporary stay in Spain, students must

get the E-111 or E-128 form from the Social Security before leaving their countries.

It is essential that foreign students bring medical insurance from their own country.

Students, who don’t have Social Security in their own country, have to go to the

International Relations Service on their arrival, to prove that they have a private medical

insurance. A private insurance can be also obtained in Valladolid. It costs approximately

40 €/month.

In case 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. If the student goes to another province, this information will be provided by the

"Dirección Provincial del INSALUD" of that province.

To make use of the medical services, the student must be able to show at the

Medical Centre a form E-111 / E-128 or certificate stating that he/she has the right to

receive Medical Assistance in Spain, together with a copy and documentation to prove

his identity. The original document will be returned to the student and the Centre will

keep the copy.
