Recognition of Royal Academies and Scientific Academies  
The University has given recognition to the academies it collaborated with in the project of scientific and knowledge values. A collaboration born during the Enlightenment and that has been as it continues being, essential in the improvement of critical thinking, knowledge creation, preservation scientific memory and the projection of Humanism values.  

They are institutions, academies and royal academies, in which many of our professors have been, or are part, actively, contributing to the construction of a society more educated, fair and just.  

That way, the principal wanted to thank specifically the Royal Academies and Academies rooted in the valencian territory for its constant dialogue with the Universitat de València, which has contributed to the enrichment of the scientific debate and to project the valencian knowledge in an international level.

An activity that, in this academic course, implies an offer of 56 official degrees and 12 double degrees, 105 official Master's Degrees, a master in International Double Degrees and 60 doctoral programmes.  

An offer adjusted with the society demands, allowing the 95% of the graduates to find a job when finishing their studies and that more than the 86% have positions according to their formative level. Dates that, as the principal said, “are also thanks to the work of the entities that today receive this recognitions”.
