University in a nutshell
Location
The University of Alicante is located in San Vicente, a city adjacent to Alicante, situated in the Valencian Community on the eastern coast of Spain. Alicante is a Mediterranean coastal city renowned for its pleasant climate, beautiful beaches, and rich history. The main campus of the University of Alicante is approximately 6 kilometers northwest of the city center. With easy access by road and public transportation, the campus provides a conducive environment for academic pursuits and university life.
Transportation
The C6 bus service runs between the airport terminal building and Alicante city centre every 20 minutes, 365 days a year. It also stops at the Renfe train station and other strategic locations around Alicante, connecting with TRAM lines L1, L2, L3 and L4 at the following stops: Alfonso X El Sabio, Plaza de los Luceros and Vázquez de Mella. The regular ticket cost is €3.85.
The University of Alicante boasts excellent road accessibility, strategically located near the exit of the Mediterranean Highway (AP-7), as well as connected to the province’s network of highways such as the Alicante Bypass (A-70), Mediterranean Highway (A-7), Alicante Highway (A-31), and Northwest Access to Alicante (A-77).
Both the AP-7 highway and the A-70 Bypass link the university to Alicante-Elche Airport, providing a convenient and fast commute for visitors opting for air travel.
The Alicante-San Vicente del Raspeig commuter train (C-3) has a station close to the campus, establishing a direct connection between Alicante and the University.
