Add a plus to your university education and study abroad at CEU UCH. Here’s how!
The European Union’s Erasmus+ programme offers university students opportunities to develop their skills and gain new experiences in educational institutions in other countries.
If you want to study abroad with us via the Erasmus+, programme, please note that you must meet some eligibility conditions:
- You must be enrolled at one of the institutions with which we have a collaboration agreement.
- If you are not a native speaker of Spanish or English, you must have a certificate showing that you have at least a B2 level of Spanish or English, depending on the language of instruction of the courses you want to take.
- You must have all the required supporting documents, such as a passport, medical insurance, your Learning Agreement and a visa (for non-EU students).
- Make your application before the relevant deadline: first semester (deadline: May), second semester (deadline: November), full academic year (deadline: May).
What to do then if you want to study abroad with us? It is very simple: just follow these steps!
Ask for information at your home university
First of all, we recommend that you check with the International Relations Office or the Student Exchange Service at your university about the procedures and deadlines related to applying for a period of study abroad.
Get nominated
Next, your university must officially nominate you and, for this, the international coordinator must contact us at [email protected] to provide us with information such as: your name and surname, e-mail address, degree, period of stay and the Learning Agreement.
Online registration
Once we have received your nomination, we will contact you so that you can register on our online platform.
Supporting documents and decisions
At this stage, you must upload the following documents to our platform: a copy of your passport, medical insurance, a completed and signed Learning Agreement, an official language certificate and visa (if you are not an EU student).
Then, wait for a decision to be made regarding your application and, finally, when you receive a letter of acceptance from our university, you can come to CEU UCH as an Erasmus+ student!
If you need more information, contact our team or the Erasmus+ coordinator of the degree you want to study.
