Together with this European dimension, the Universitat de València is also characterised by its significant international presence, with more than a thousand active agreements in collaboration with institutions on the five continents. 

The Universitat de València also stands out because of its international formative dimension, with several dual-degree international programmes, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. These degrees make it one of the most dynamic European universities in matters of teaching offer.

The Secretary of State has been interested in the work of Escena Erasmus and has opened up institutional channels to better understand the initiatives of this pioneering project in Europe.
