This expansion of places responds to the fact that in the 2020 academic year – 2021, nearly 100% of the university places that were made available last year were covered, with an increase in enrollment set to be boosted for the next academic year, ”he noted.
In this campaign there are two pre-registration stages. Phase 1 or Regular Phase, in which all available places are submitted, the deadline for applications is from June 24 to July 2. And the second phase or the exceptional phase, where only places left vacant after the first phase will be shown, and the deadline for submission will be from 28 to 30 July. This year, for the first time, the Extraordinary Phase of University Entrance and Admission Examinations (PEvAU) will take place in July, instead of September. Therefore, the pre-registration period for September ends.
The university president explained that this offer remains stable with regard to the current 2020-2021 academic year and implies a consolidation of the policy to promote dual and bilingual degrees. “In fact, 11 double degrees will be offered in the next year (also called the Joint Program for Formal Studies, PCEO), as well as a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management, with instruction entirely in English. The fourth and final year will be carried out which means its final consolidation.” .
In addition, for the next academic year, commitment to international double degrees continues. Specifically, the University of Jaén already has nine (9) double international degrees in offering, in the branches of civil and mechanical engineering, linguistics, social and legal sciences, in coordination with various universities in France, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Likewise, he highlighted some unique aspects of Jian University’s academic offer. On the one hand, the Interuniversity degree in Archeology, taught jointly by the Universities of Granada, Seville and Jaén, which this academic year has renewed its accreditation by the Directorate of Evaluation and Accreditation of the Andalusian Knowledge Agency (DEVA). On the other hand, he indicated that in the next academic year, new study plans for art history, geography and history certificates will begin. These two new study plans will share 50% of their burden in the credits, thereby opening the possibility in the future to be able to offer a joint study plan, thus strengthening the specialization of Arts and Humanities at Jian University.
At the same time, he added that Jaén University continues to exclusively maintain two degrees in the unique Andalusian region. The BA in Geomatics and Topographic Engineering is the only one in Andalusia that enables the practicing of the regulated profession of Technical Topography Engineer, thus opening the door for students to a career with an increasing job offer in this sector. On the one hand, the degree in Statistics and Business, which is also a unique degree from UJA which is only offered, in addition, at another Spanish university, prepares students to address a business reality specializing in production and marketing, building on a solid foundation in statistics and operations research.
He also wanted to highlight that all Bachelor’s degrees in the various branches of engineering offered by Jaén University are distinguished by the European Network for Accreditation for Engineering Education (ENAEE) and the European Safety Network for Informatics Education (EQANIE), through the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA), with quality seals. The prestigious international EUR-ACE (Engineering) and Euro-Inf (Computer Science).

Within the FoCo program, the Training Program in Academic Professional Competencies was highlighted at UJA. It is a unique fully supported program by UJA for all undergraduate and postgraduate students, which contains a total of 15 courses in a compact format, with a modular structure allowing recognition in its own degree with a wide choice.
