Dear student,

On my own and the entire academic community's behalf, I would like to warmly welcome you to our—and your—university. Thank you for having chosen the UIB to take your university course in the 2024-25 academic year.

The student body is the true raison d'être of our university, and both the academic and the admin and services staff—the other two groups that make up our community—are here to help you along the path that you are now embarking on.

We have deep roots in our community, as well as an international, dynamic and cutting-edge outlook in teaching, research and knowledge transfer, as shown by our excellent position in different global university rankings. For this reason, studying at the UIB is a great option for gaining knowledge and skills, accessing mobility and exchange programmes, and undertaking professional placements. Our aim is to offer you comprehensive, high-quality training that will enable you to face present and future challenges with guaranteed success, and to achieve your full potential as a person.

I would like to encourage you to discover the UIB, take advantage of all the training, knowledge and professional development opportunities available to you, and invite you to actively participate in making our university better still. The participation of everyone will help us build a better version of the university and contribute to modernisation and social and economic progress in the Balearic Islands—a mission where our students play a crucial role.

I wish you an exceptional academic year. Never doubt that we will be by your side for whatever you need.

Best regards,

Jaume Carot
Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Balearic Islands
