9,300 Youth from Across the Canary Islands to Visit University of La Laguna Next Week

The open‑day events aim to provide comprehensive information to students about to make the leap to higher education.

The University of La Laguna will host its Open Days next week, presenting its academic offerings over three days to secondary‑school students, vocational‑training pupils and anyone planning to begin university studies in the upcoming academic year.

In total, 9,325 students from 151 schools across the Canary Islands, accompanied by 382 teachers, have registered to visit the Guajara Campus in three separate sessions:

• Wednesday: 3,664 students from La Laguna and northern Tenerife
• Thursday, January 22: 3,435 students from Santa Cruz
• Friday, January 23: 2,226 students from the remaining islands

The events are organized by the Vice‑Rectory for Students and carried out through the Information and Guidance Service. Their purpose is to give prospective students all the information they need so that their decisions are based on reliable data.

“The goal is to ensure that every choice is grounded in trustworthy information,” the university said in its press release.

During the visits, participants will:

• Explore in detail the characteristics of various undergraduate degrees
• Access audiovisual material created for the occasion, which includes a comprehensive guide for families, information on tuition costs, scholarships, and recommendations for new students
