Rovira i Virgili University

We are aware that studying and living in a foreign country is always a challenge for students, but we are sure that at the URV it will be a challenge that you will rise to with ease.

The URV International Center is the one-stop shop for international students. We'll help you find out all you need to know to feel at home from the very first day.

In the province of Tarragona you can really enjoy a high quality of life. It is safe and welcoming and a great place to explore at any time of day or night. It has a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers, which means you can enjoy its natural attractions and a rage of outdoor activities such as water sports, hiking and climbing all year around.

The Universitat Rovira i Virgili has two different residence halls for students in the city center. The Sant Jordi Residence Hall offers you singles or double rooms. The new Tarragona Mediterrani Residence Hall has 80 studios for one or two students. However, you can also find accommodation in any of the residence halls, hostels, apartments or shared flats around the city.

What is the CRAI?

A common place for all those services provided by the university that support learning, teaching and research and are related to information and ICT. 

The library lies at the heart of the CRAI. It makes information resources and documentation available to support:

• Learning
• Teaching
• Research
• The acquisition of information competencies

Managing the systems of information, the infrastructure and the services of communications of the URV, giving technical support for developing applications and optimizing the investment in technology, administering in a suitable way the risks and the opportunities associated to IT, the Computer and ICT Service provides for the University’s needs in the area of the information technologies.

In Catalonia health care is provided at CAPs (Primary Health Care Centers) and Hospitals.

The CAPs have fix opening hours and you will be assigned one depending on where you live. If you need to see a general practitioner, you should ask at your CAP to be assigned one.

If you have an urgent problem but it is not an emergency, the professionals at your CAP can receive you during the opening hours.
