Creative Campus11/21/2017 UNAV Life, The Documentary, tries to show people, students in UNAV and future ones, what University Life and Experience actually looks like. We recall to have said that it is a compendium made up by both studies, development, academical flourishing opportunities, and free time and self-discovery. Well, this is the day in which we want to tell you about this second aspect. We want to talk to you about Creative Campus. This approach intends to present the different creative opportunities available on campus in a way as attractive as possible. From shows coming to the MUN, to clubs to join such as the University's chorus or theater group, from photograph and art workshops to interesting creative courses that students are able to take, Creative Campus is a nice portal for students to get to know about all the available free-time activities on campus. The web-page is constantly updated, and interviews to interesting participants related to the topics are posted almost on a daily basis. If you are looking for something of the king, make sure to check it out! Miriam Huárriz Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of Spanish Philology and Journalism

CUN, now also in Madrid11/21/2017 With 46 new medical specialties, just like in Pamplona, the new center will maintain the same care model based on exclusive dedication towards its personnel and its investigation and education departments for the patients' benefit. Clínica Universidad de Navarra is known for its efforts on investigation and education of future doctors. Its prestige is such that, apart from its center in Pamplona, the University of Navarre has decided to open up a new facility in Madrid, doubling its services. For 55 years, the Clinic has offered an exhaustive service to all of its patients, and on November 21, today, citizens in Madrid and people visiting the capital of Spain will be attended by it too. Counting with a team made up by 500 people, among which we can find 130 doctors, 120 nurses, 90 assistants, 50 technicians, 60 dietitians and cleaning workers and 50 administratives, the Clinic's personnel will grow up to 2.525 professionals, taking into account Pamplona's workers. "It will be the same Clínica Universidad de Navarra, just like it has always been, but placed in Madrid”, commented the general director José Andrés Gómez Cantero. This is important because of several aspects: on the one hand, more people will be benefited by care services provided by the Clinic; and, on the other, the investigative development as well as the educational one will be grand: greater doctors will be trained in both facilities and they will have more job opportunities too. The official web-page for CUN in Madrid is already running, and it looks appealing. This is surely going to be a promising trip. And it starts today. Miriam Huárriz Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of Spanish Philology and Journalism The Campus11/18/2017 The University of Navarre is divided into four different Campuses, all of them equipped with the most modern installations, in order to ensure the best experience for its students´ professional life. With a design that reminds of universities in English-speaking countries, the terrain is nearly 400.000 square meters wide and it contains the various faculties, residence halls and sport facilities the University is equipped with. If you are thinking of studying in the University of Navarre, a good way to have a better vision about it is to ask for a visit with your family or school or, if not, to come to one Open Day, where you will be able to explore the University and have a wider notion of what it entails. Moreover, if you are interested in looking for Master programs or in visiting the campus for any other purpose, you can also ask for personalized visits, after completing a questionnaire in MiUnav Space. Do not be shy, the University is eager to meet you and see what you have to offer! Erik Mugarza Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of History and Journalism "Alborada", UNAV's Literary Magazine11/18/2017 This magazine intends to be a space for students to publish their poems, short stories and drawings. The University of Navarre is known for its very professional School of Communication, as well as for its reputation on majors from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Since its foundation in 1952, it has granted students the opportunity of flourishing in their abilities, and it is actually them, the undergraduates, the ones who are allowed to conduct many of the initiatives the University launches. Alborada was created by six students in UNAV, Beatriz Sánchez, Miguel Barba, Sergio Navarro, José Fanjul, Pablo de la Barrera and Íñigo Rubio, back in 2012. This amazing project gives many unknown artists the chance to get out in the field and show the world what they are working on, and, even it if it is mainly directed at students, all teachers and other employees at the University are permitted to participate. PROCESS: 1st Write or draw something unique, quaint, interesting. 2nd Send your material, along with your personal data, to [email protected] 3rd Be selected and appear in the next publication of Alborada. PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS: 1st Send in your personal data (name, career and career year if you are a student; name and faculty if you are a professor; name and post if you are an employee). 2nd Leave 1,5 space between lines. 3rd Do not exceed the four pages limit or 50 verses. 4th Drawings ought to be in black and white, preferably. Alborada publishes two magazines each year, one in Autumn and another one in Spring, and it can be picked up by any of the students for free. It is a nice way of getting published and read by University companions which share your interests, and it is an easy way to get in touch with them too. If you write or paint, draw, do not be shy and give it a try. Miriam Huárriz Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of Spanish Philology and Journalism About the international program11/17/2017 Some years ago, the University of Navarre established the International Program as one of its main aims; that is, to connect the university to the rest of the world. This initiative includes UNAV´s teachers, researchers and, of course, students. With that purpose, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences has been one of the faculties that has prompted the creation of the Program for all of its degrees with the purpose of allowing students to get to know more about different languages and cultures, to understand the world we live in, to improve their capacity to adapt to multiple contexts and, through all that, to increase their potential. After finishing this Program, students are able to receive an International Title if they have taken between 80 and 120 ECTs in English during their degree. The Program includes obligatory and optional subjects in English (so that students can have the option of improving their level and vocabulary in that language), two exchanges (a compulsory one and also an optional one), to take the subject named International Seminars (8 seminars hosted by international speakers, through which students can develop a global and interdisciplinary view) for four years, the possibility of doing professional or research practices in other countries and an End-of-Degree Work written and defended in English. Finally, the criteria to be admitted in the Program is to have taken the First Certificate in English, TOEFL (IBT 45-60, CBT 173-210, PBT 500-547), B2 in Language Schools, IELTS 5.0-5.5-6.0 or to have studied in an International High School. If you are into languages and culture, and you like English, this may be a nice way of improving your curriculum. Give it a look!

An archeological experience11/17/2017 Before starting the Major of History and Journalism I did not imagine how much I was going to learn about archeology in my first year in the University of Navarre. However, I decided to join the Club of Archeology and a new (but also old) world appeared around me: the one of Ancient History! Last year, me and other students interested in archeology joined the Club after the recommendation of Javier Andreu, professor of Classic World, Archeology and Ancient Spain in the University of Navarre. During the whole year, we attended conferences and we learned a lot about pottery as Inmaculada Delage, our teacher in the course, is an expert in terra sigillata. What´s more, we visited archaeological sites such as Las Eretas (prehistoric) and Los Bañales (roman). During the summer, I got the chance to participate in the excavations of a domus, which is the name that Romans gave to aristocratic houses, in the Roman city of Los Bañales that we had already visited. The experience could not have been better and this year I am looking forward to repeating those excavating days. I, as many others, have continued with the interesting activities of the Club. We are going for a study on Delage and, as it is in Egypt, Marta Pérez Polo is giving us the course. Her specialty is bones and this is why this year I am learning a lot of biological data. In addition to that, we have visited the Royal Factory of Weapons of Eugui (a contemporary site). Maybe you can think that only students of History can attend this Club but this is not true! Everybody can join the sessions. Do not doubt to come and give it a chance! Javier Larequi Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of History and Journalism Language and Culture campus11/17/2017 It is that time of the year. "Winter is coming", as would say a Stark in Game of Thrones. But, did you know the exact original motto, actually? Nowadays everyone has access to films from all around the world, to TV series, books... through translation. It is true that this art has improved quite a lot in these past years, and it is also true that, without it, our worldwide culture would be way more limited: it gives us access to material we would not be able to comprehend otherwise, as no person can learn all languages on Earth. But, still, nothing compares to the original version, to the casts' voices, to the author's writing style. And how can we have access to this kind of experience? Through learning languages, yes, you guessed correctly. The University of Navarre has a very prestigious Language Institute which offers courses on up to 9 different languages: German, Arabic, Chinese, Basque, French, English, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. Moreover, the University gives international students who do not know Spanish or those graduates who want to be able to teach Spanish as a second language the opportunity of signing up for ILCE classes and examinations. Being as important as it is to know our way around in different countries, for barriers regarding cultural exchange ceased to exist a while ago, this opportunity is great for all students, professors and other workers in the University. One just has to choose a language to start off with, that which may strike you as more attractive or useful, or with the one you believe you are having and will have more contact. Afterwards, the process is simple: contact the Languages' Department and sign up for a course or to take a level exam in case you want to continue your studies in a language you already know something about. The professors are great, the preparation for Official Exams, also hosted in the University, is exquisite. And it is on campus. It just could not be better. Miriam Huárriz Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of Spanish Philology and Journalism Studying to promote change11/17/2017 Exams are closer than they look like. Yeah. It is already November. Time flies and people ought to start getting ready for finals. UNAV offers the best motivation to start up: XV Olimpiada Solidaria de Estudio. This initiative comes from Tantaka and will take place from November 5th to December 5th. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness regarding the privileges of education and its importance in the development of societies. This year, the funds will go to the project: Watoto vuelve a la escuela, promoted by ONGD coopera. The project wants to collect money in order to reintegrate children who have suffered armed warfare in Kivu Sur, Democratic Republic of Congo. How can students participate? During this month, the students who use the study rooms can donate their study hours to this motive. For every given hour, the organizations will give 1€ to the project. So, what better way to study than to contribute to a higher cause at the same time! I really encourage you to participate and feel blessed and grateful for being here! Mónica González Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of Spanish Philology and Journalism FORUN: a personal experience11/17/2017 After reading our post on FORUN in the Key activities section, you might also be interested in giving a look to a personal experience on the topic. Last year, I had the opportunity to participate in the modality of Written Communication with three more workmates and, what is more, we were good enough to win! Despite it was the first time that I signed up for a project to be presented in front of a lot of people and I was very nervous, I enjoyed it a lot: it meant a challenge for me, and I was happy to succeed in it. One of the things that I appreciate most about FORUN is that it let me leave my comfort zone. My team's work, Compared analysis of political discourse in Europe about migration, analyzed the political situation in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Poland, while it tried to cover some possible solutions to the problem of refugees. I always say that there are people that attend University, and others that live it. In my opinion, FORUN is a great way to live the University of Navarre. Consequently, I highly recommend you to live the UNAV and, as a way of doing so, to live FORUN. Javier Larequi Writing directly from UNAV and FCOM. 2nd year student of History and Journalism Sports are vital for the growth of not only our bodies, but also of our intellect; because of this, it is useful and necessary to do sports. Every student or professor needs a hobby to get away from books and work. Yes, even professors have to get away from their students. And sports are a great way of doing that! In the University of Navarre, people can do many different kind of sports, which is magnificent. The sports center is at everybody's disposition just a few meters away from the Faculties, where all tennis, football, paddle tennis, etc. can be practiced. The University of Navarre is also keen on promoting different activities to the usual ones: people may want to practice other kind of sports which may not be so well-known or popular as the previous, but are just as great: skate hockey, pin-pong, chess, rugby... Those interested in these particular sports have to go to other places in Pamplona to enjoy them, but the University helps students to find out about other Sports Complexes to make the search task a little bit less difficult. Among them, the following have received pretty great reviews: Lagunak, Oberena, Rochapea... One must stay healthy. The University's rhythm can sometimes be pretty hectic, and moving your body will surely help you get through those stressful periods of time!
