Academic Excellence: support, quality and commitment to students
At the Universitat Politècnica de València, Academic Excellence is much more than an objective: it is an attitude, a firm commitment to continuous improvement, educational quality and the overall well-being of the student body. From this area of the Vice-Rector’s Office, we work every day to ensure that the university experience is enriching, transformative and deeply human.
The Academic Excellence area articulates a set of essential programs and services that accompany students throughout their university career. From the Comprehensive Accompaniment Program, which offers personalized guidance and tutoring from the beginning to the end of their studies, to the organization of Welcome Days for new undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students, our goal is clear: to ensure that each person finds in the university an environment that inspires, supports and enhances their academic and personal development.
With a strong teaching vocation and an eye on the future, we promote deep learning, the development of transversal competencies and active participation in university life. We believe in the strength of collaborative work between students, faculty and staff to build a more open, innovative and committed university.
This area brings together and coordinates all services aimed at students, facilitating their access, promoting their use and ensuring that each student has the necessary tools to achieve excellence. Because training highly qualified professionals is only one part of our mission; the other, equally important, is to train people of integrity, critical and committed.
