UVA Valencia First offers new first-year and new transfer students a new program of international study through our oldest and largest study abroad program, UVA in Valencia (founded in 1983). This unique opportunity provides well-qualified and ambitious students a carefully crafted plan of first-year study and the transformative experience of living abroad, offering students a compelling classroom experience with a hands-on exploration of the history, cultures, politics, and architecture of the host city. Congratulations to María J. Jorquera Hervás!
