Here you'll find everything you need to know about taking your first steps towards becoming an exchange student, such as the nomination procedure, eligibility requirements, and preparations before your exchange.

Only students from our partner universities can take part in the Exchange Programme at UPF.

Your home university have to send us your nomination via form. Partner universities can contact us in order to get the nomination link.

Deadlines for nominating students:
- First trimester: 30th of April
- Second or third trimester: 30th of September

Once we process the nomination, we will contact the students to explain the application process. We will reach out to students after the nomination deadline closes, so you can expect to hear from us around May or October.

Once your nomination is processed, we'll contact you to complete your application. You'll need to submit several important documents such as:

  • Passport-style picture
  • Updated passport or European ID

  • Travel insurance that covers emergency medical evacuation, accidents and repatriation of remains

Although we do not require a language certificate to be an exchange student at UPF, we do recommend to have at least a MCER B1 level of Spanish or a B2 level of English. However, there are some specific requirements depending on the faculty you're attending:

  • Students attending the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation must take an online placement test, which need to be taken before the enrollment process.
     
  • Students with internships at the Faculty of Medicine will be required to submit at least a B1 certificate of Spanish.
