Jaume I University

The educational model of the UJI is based on ten principles: Integral development of students, promotion of ethics and social responsibility, commitment to development and social and territorial cohesion, cultivation of the research vocation, promotion of the internationalization, commitment to one’s own language and multilingualism, encouragement of the use of ICTs, continuous improvement of quality, promotion of employability and an intelligent entrepreneurial spirit, promotion of training throughout the life.

Universitat Jaume I (UJI) came into being as a higher education and research centre on 27 February 1991 to meet the unanimous social demand in the Castelló area. It was also the fruit of a tradition in education inherited from the Teacher Training studies at the old University College of Castelló (Col·legi Universitari de Castelló, CUC), which dated from 1969. In its first year, the ten lecturers at the CUC gave classes to 21 Science students and 85 from Philosophy and Arts. The CUC became part of the Universitat de València at the end of 1979.
