More than 8900 undergraduate students begin the academic year at the University of Navarra, on the Pamplona and San Sebastian campuses. Since 30 August, Welcoming Days have been held for first year students, who total more than 2,300.

So far 2,341 new students have enrolled, which represents an increase of 79 students over last year. Of these, 636 are from Navarre, representing 27.1% of the total number of students, and the number of international students is 682, which is 29.1% of the total. Mexico, the United States, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Colombia and the Philippines are the countries with the highest number of students in the University of Navarra.

The University is committed to continuing in-person classes, adapting flexibly to the pandemic situation as it develops and in line with the indications of the health authorities at all times.  It will continue to offer remote teaching to students who cannot attend classes due to health reasons –positive Covid diagnosis or a close contact - or delayed arrival from other countries.

In order to ensure a safe start to the academic year with maximum attendance, the University has established several measures. Among them, the voluntary vaccination of those students who have not received the vaccine or the second dose of the vaccine. The Government of Navarra has authorized the administration and it will manage the vaccination of students, which will begin on Friday, 3 September at the Simulation Center of the School of Medicine.

Likewise, in order to monitor the incidence of the pandemic among students, the University has asked them to voluntarily report their vaccination status and also offers the possibility for students to take a free PCR test to ensure safety on campus. Likewise, measures will be maintained for the cleaning of spaces, mandatory use of facemasks indoors, as well as outdoors when the interpersonal distance of 1.5 meters is not guaranteed, limitation of seating capacity, etc.
