University Residence and Shared Accommodation

Public Residence

The public university residence is located in the centre of Ferrol, specifically in the district of La Magdalena, in a building provided by the Xunta de Galicia and the Concello de Ferrol, with easy accessibility to the university campuses of Esteiro and Serantes.


The Magdalena neighbourhood is an example of the rational urban planning of the Enlightenment period and was declared a historic-artistic site in 1983.


The residence, which was opened in the 2013/2014 academic year, has a total of 25 places (one of which is adapted for people with disabilities and two reserved for foreign students), divided into 15 single rooms and 10 double rooms (not mixed).

Intergenerational Coexistence

The Comparte Programme is an initiative for intergenerational coexistence between university students and senior citizens that arose in 2013 as a result of the collaboration agreement between the City Council of Ferrol and the University of A Coruña.
