The daughter of Infanta Cristina and Iñaki Urdangarin fulfills his dream while following in the footsteps of his brothers Juan and Miguel, who also made their university courses in Great Britain. After his sabbatical year spent between Cambodia, where he did five months of volunteeringGeneva, and Madrid, has landed in England as a university student.
On September 16, after enjoying the weekend with her mother, Infanta Cristina, her older brother and Juan Urquijo, with whom she has had a special relationship for almost a year, Irene attended the informative conference at the university center and got to know the facilities with his new classmates. The classrooms, the main library, the store, the medical center, the bar, the restaurants… And the sports center, where you can practice hockey, soccer, swimming, racquet sports, climbing… and, of course, rowing. Oxford’s idyllic canals and traditional punts are a safe destination for all students.

Ten days later, on September 26, and together with more than 16,000 studentsmostly British, the King’s niece began her studies in Hospitality, event management and tourism at one of the best universities in the country. What he likes the most and what he has fought for by passing different tests since the acceptance rate at his university is a little low, and, of course, recommendations are not worth it.
Enrollment at the university costs 16,300 euros, plus living and subsistence expenses, a figure very far from what some media have given (150,000 euros), pointing out a university that was never in Irene’s plans, the University College London (UCL). ), where Princess Alexia of the Netherlands does study.
Classes are taught from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. schedule that includes seminars, practices, master classes, conferences, evaluations, counseling sessions… And according to close sources, the young Urdangarin “she is delighted”. They admit that it was a little hard to leave the environment of Madrid, where they have been living after doing volunteering in Asia for five monthsand they also tell us that “he is getting into the routine very well”, although this weekend he took the leap to Greece to attend Princess Teodora’s wedding with his family.
