The University of Granada:
500 years of history
The founding of the University of Granada was granted
by Papal Bull, issued in 1531, establishing a Christian
university to follow in the stead of the, until then, Islamic Madrassa, dating from 1349. Indeed, the site of the
Arab university is now occupied by the UGR and part
of the original construction can still be seen. Since then,
the UGR – drawing on its historical roots – has gradually grown and developed into what it has become today:
a public higher-education institution that is committed
to quality and excellence in the areas of teaching, learning and research. In line with this, the university has,
throughout its history, become increasingly active in the
transfer of scientific, technical and artistic knowledge,
social advancement, sustainable development and, above all, internationalization.
World ranking
Numerous national and international ranking agencies
that evaluate higher education teaching and research
have placed the UGR among the top universities in
Spain, as well as including it within the top 3% of the
best higher education institutions worldwide. Indeed,
according to the Shanghai ranking, the UGR appears as
one of the world’s top 500 universities.

Present and Future

great emphasis on actively participating in all initiatives
that contribute towards its international dimension. For

major actor in the area of higher education both in Europe and Latin America. There are currently seven university campuses, in addition to the “Central Campus”,
which takes in all the UGR premises spread throughout
the city centre of Granada. Two of the campuses are
those of Ceuta and Melilla, which are Spanish enclaves
located on the coast of northern Africa. The study programmes available at the UGR are among the most extensive in Europe, which helps to explain our high student numbers: around 65,000, of which some 10,000 are
international students. The UGR is involved in a wide
range of international projects and networks, as well as
in innumerable internationally-renowned exchange programmes, thanks to the long list of co-operation partners it has throughout the world.

as being one of the cheapest cities, both in Spain and
Europe, to live as a student.
Solidarity and the environment
15. One of the pillars on which the UGR is based is
that of solidarity and commitment to the environment. The Centre for University Development Cooperation (CICODE) provides access for students

Granada, a
privileged enclave
One of the city of Granada’s outstanding features is
as a tourist destination, which makes it ideal not only
for studying, but also for tourism. Located in eastern
Andalusia, in southern Spain, the city has one of the
greatest cultural heritages in the country. In addition to
the world-famous Alhambra and the Arab quarter of the
Albayzin (both of which have World Heritage status
from the UNESCO), Granada also has a Renaissance
cathedral, dating back to the 16th century. Many other
historic monuments are dotted around the city.
Another of Granada’s defining characteristics is as a
“University City”, which turns it into a vibrant place.
Likewise, Granada is a safe modern city, located in privileged surroundings: only 60 km from the tropical climate of the Mediterranean coast and at the foot of the
Sierra Nevada, a mountain range that rises up to 3,400
m above sea level and which is home to the southernmost ski resort in Europe.

Get to know
Granada Province
Here’s the official tourism website for Granada Province: http://www.turgranada.es
For those who prefer the peace of the countryside to
the bustle of city life, there are six nature reserves, including the Sierra Nevada National Park. The foothills
to the south of the Sierra Nevada, known as the Alpujarras, are speckled with villages dating back to the Middle Ages. With its dramatic scenery, benign climate and
complete peace and quiet, visitors often find it difficult
to leave. Further inland, the area of the Marquesado and
the high meseta provide landscapes in stark contrast to
those of the Alpujarras. And in the westernmost parts of
the province there are still many interesting ruins from
the times of the Muslim kingdom and its fortresses,
The 13,000 square kilometres of the province of Granada contain an amazing number and variety of tourist
attractions. At any time of the year, visitors can choose
when this was the frontier between Granada and the historically Christian provinces further west.
from a multitude of ways in which to fill their leisure
time: visiting historic and artistic monuments, spending
the night at the small hotels in the many villages dotted
along the byways and tracks that form a rural tourism
network spanning the hills and mountains, skiing or taking part in the other sports on offer at the ski resort, as
well as other open-air activities, or just relaxing on the
beach down by the coast
17
Free time and
tourist information
The city of Granada has an
extensive cultural agenda, open
to its most important guests:
its university students
After centuries of cultural importance, Granada still has
an enviable agenda of cultural and free-time activities.
Film, music or theatre programmes and festivals are organised alongside permanent and temporary exhibitions
that cover all fields of knowledge. Ancient Renaissance
palaces house seminars, conferences and talks, while
the most innovative infrastructures can be used for major events. There are three auditoria that run year-round
programmes of theatre, opera, concerts, flamenco, etc.
and the prestigious Granada City Orchestra has a calendar of concerts in the Manuel de Falla auditorium.
18
The International Jazz Festival (October), the International Festival of Magic (November), the International
Festival of Music and Dance (June/July), the International Film Festival (June), the International Tango Festival (March), the International Week of Organ Music
(October and December), the International Show of Comics (Feb./March), the International Festival of Young
Film-makers (April) and the Festival of Film Classics
(January) are just some examples of this cultural activity that goes on throughout Granada the whole year
round.

As a guide, here are some estimations of the cost of living for some basic necessities:
•
Living in a shared apartment (bills included) can
range from €200 to €250 per person per month.
•
Eating a full meal at the university refectory costs
€3,50 it you have it there and €4 if you use their

Opening a bank account in Spain
Regardless of your nationality, you must document your situation,
whether as a resident or as a non-resident, in order to open a bank
account in Spain.
If you have already formalized your residency and you have the card
that proves it (NIE), all you have to do is present it at a bank when you
open an account.
If you do not have a residency card and you are an EU resident there
are two options:
1. The first is to go to the Police Headquarters (Dirección General de
la Policía) with your passport (original and photocopy) and ask for a
"certificado de no residencia" (a certificate of non-residency). Ten
days later (approximately) you will have to go back there to pick it up.
With your passport and this certificate you can go to any bank to open
an account. It will be operative from that very moment, and the money
deposited in it will be immediately available.
2. The second option is to go to the bank with your passport and ask
to open an account. In this case, it is the bank itself that requests the
certificate of non-residency with a permission form that you can sign
at the bank. If you open a bank
account this way, it won’t be operative until the bank receives this
document, and any money deposited will be blocked until that time.
If you don’t have a residency card and are from of a non-EU country
You can only open an account by presenting a passport.
However, it is possible that if in less than two months you have still
not obtained your residency card the bank may block your funds. It is
therefore very important that you apply to open a bank account only
after turning in the paperwork required for the NIE.
There is no minimum deposit required to open bank accounts in
euros, for other currencies there are minimums depending on which
one it is.
We recommend before choosing a bank that you visit the ones on the
university campus. In some cases, they will allow you to open an
account without asking for any documentation as long as you present
your student identification.
Finally, we remind you that banks usually charge for certain
transactions, such the opening and maintaining of an account. It
therefore makes sense to compare the different banks before
choosing.
Cancelling your bank account
Once your time in Spain has ended, you should close your bank
account. If you don’t annul the contract binding you to your bank and
choose to simply leave your bank account at zero, account fees
quickly put your balance into the negative. When this occurs, it will be
impossible to close the account until the balance is positive again
after paying the bank any fees and penalties it deems appropriate.
If the account you want to cancel is associated with more than one
name, the application to cancel the account should be signed by all of
them.
Cancelling the account obliges the bank to give the account holder/s
back the balance left in the account. It also requires that the account
holder/s return effects associated with the account, such as bank
cards, bank books, checks, etc.
It is considered bad practice to reopen an account that has already
been cancelled, so if further charges are made to the account using
means of payment associated with the account, the bank should
reclaim the ensuing debt but may not “reactivate” the cancelled
account in order to cover the movements in question.
