Campus Central

The University’s main campus is located in the more modern area of the city centre of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, and it is here that you will find the most emblematic of ULL’s buildings, the “Edificio Central”. This building was designed in the 1940s by the architect José Enrique Marrero, and completed by Domingo Pisaca & Burgada in 1953. Inside the building you will find the Paraninfo, which serves as the institution’s great hall.

For many years, this building was home to the faculties of Law, Sciences, and Philosophy & Arts, however new campuses were created to accommodate growing student numbers thus relieving it of its academic activities and it has since become home to the University’s administrative services and some vice-rectorates. At his campus you will find:

  • The “Edificio Central”.
  • The main offices of the “Fundación General de la ULL”.
  • The sports pavilion.
  • The halls of residence San Fernando and Santa María.
  • The department of Technical Architecture of the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering.
  • The Faculty of Education.
  • The School of Doctoral and Postgraduate Programs.

The Ofra campus is located near the University Hospital (Hospital Universitario de Canarias – HUC), and is home to a large number of higher education studies relating to the Health Sciences, the exception being Psychology and Speech-Language Pathology. There are close ties with the hospital complex despite it not belonging to the University of La Laguna (it belongs to the Canary Islands health service), which are vital to the teaching and research carried out in our Medicine and Nursing degrees.

The following are located on this campus:

  • Medicine, Nursing and Physiotherapy sections of the Faculty of Health Sciences
  • Affiliated School of Nursing Nuestra Señora de Candelaria.

Campus de Santa Cruz

This site is not a campus in the strictest sense, as there are no clear boundaries separating the University’s buildings from the surrounding community’s. However, we shall refer to it as a campus in order to group together the different buildings belonging to the University that are located in the capital city:

  • Section of Mechanics, Nautical and Maritime Engineering, and Naval Radioelectronics of the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering.
  • School of Tourism Tenerife (affiliated centre).
  • Headquarters of the Social Council of the University of La Laguna.

Campus del Sur

Based in Adeje, it is located in an extension of the municipal cultural centre, which has hosted many of the University’s courses and Summer School programs. As a result of this collaboration, it was possible to increase the scope of educational opportunities offered by the University in the south and set up a permanent campus there in 2012.

At the moment this campus only offers our degree in Tourism that is run by the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism, however we are reviewing the possibility of offering more courses in the future at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
