Applying to study temporarily at the UB

To be accepted as a temporary visiting student at the UB you need to follow the steps described below:

1. Find out if your home University has a student exchange agreement with the University of Barcelona.

• Foreign students: ERASMUS, Bilateral Agreements, Especific Agreements with EUA Colleges, Coïmbra Group, and so on.
  If your home university has no formal exchange agreement with the UB, you may submit an individual application (see the requirements and conditions)
  
• Spanish students: SICUE programme: Information for students from other Spanish universities
  

2. Obtain authorization from your home university to participate on an exchange programme at the UB.

3. Complete and send the application form to the UB via Internet. (Students of the spanish SICUE programm don't have to fill this form)

4. Post your application form and any supporting documents to the Head of International Exchanges in the faculty or school in which you wish to study. (Students of the Specific Agreements with US Colleges don't have to send any document).

5. Once accepted, you need to make the necessary arrangements for accommodation and to take out medical insurance to cover all your stay in Barcelona.

6. On arrival in Barcelona, you first need to visit the faculty or school in which you will study to register at the UB.

7. A few weeks into the semester, you must register for those subjects that you have decided to study. Registration should be completed at the secretariat of your UB faculty or school.
