The UMA International HUB is once again taking part in the welcome days for international students who will participate in their mobility in the second semester of the academic year. This year, more than 946 students from 62 nationalities have arrived at the University of Malaga, including:

Turkey, Mexico, United Kingdom, Argentina, Germany, Czech Republic, Brazil, South Korea, Belgium, Italy, State of Palestine, Lithuania, France, Colombia, Poland, Georgia, Peru, Ukraine, Chile, Sweden, Kazakhstan, Ireland, Portugal, Bolivia, Romania, Slovenia, United States, Austria, Hungary, Netherlands, Canada, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, Moldova, Norway, Greece, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Honduras, Ecuador, Armenia, El Salvador, Montenegro, Namibia, Serbia, Albania, Estonia, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Croatia, Estonia, and Morocco.

At this welcome meeting, the students received information about what we do in our office, UMA International HUB, and how we can support them during their stay in Malaga. In addition, they were introduced to the Buddy Program, an initiative in which local buddies are assigned to help them integrate into the university and social life of the city. Also highlighted was the extensive cultural agenda we organise, which includes activities and events to encourage interaction between international and local students, promoting multiculturalism and integration into the university community.

This programme aims to make international students feel welcome and supported in their new phase in Malaga.
