Access routes

Overseas students applying to the UIC with the intention of participating in an Erasmus programme or a bilateral exchange must be officially nominated by their home university. In addition, their home university must have previously signed a partnership agreement with the UIC which stipulates the subject areas on offer and the duration of the exchange period.

To be accepted by the UIC, students must have passed all the corresponding subjects of the first year of their degree course. In addition they must satisfy the following requirements*:

• Comply with the academic schedule and the rules and regulations of the UIC.
• Fulfil all visa and immigration requirements.
• Have sufficient knowledge and understanding of Spanish to be able, like all students, to study a course at the UIC and sit exams in this language.
• Enrol for a minimum of 10 credits (8 ECTS) per term at the academic department of the UIC which has established the exchange by way of a bilateral agreement, in coordination with the corresponding academic coordinator. Students may take credits within other academic departments if the academic coordinators corresponding to those areas have given their approval. Please note that the only language courses that incoming students can enrol for at the UIC are Spanish, Catalan and/or program-specific English.

N.B.: some bilateral exchanges stipulate that the student must provide partial or total payment of tuition fees at the UIC and the pre-enrolment costs. Those interested in participating in a bilateral programme at the UIC (not including Erasmus) must ask their home university about the economic conditions established in the partnership agreement with the UIC. The price per credit point is different for each subject.
