ÉTUDIANTS DE L’UPF

Go on an Exchange program

UPF allows you to complete part of your studies abroad thanks to cooperation agreements signed with partner universities.

PREPARING AND REFINING YOUR PROJECT

A mobility project must be planned at least one year in advance. Carefully preparing your stay increases your chances of successfully carrying out your mobility project and, in some cases, obtaining financial support (International Mobility Grant and/or Erasmus+ allowance). Indeed, you will need to ensure that you can financially support yourself once you are abroad.

ADVANTAGES AND SUPPORT FOR MOBILITY

At the host university

You benefit from

  • exemption from tuition fees for one or two semesters;

  • access to courses within a study program (4 to 5 subjects per semester for international mobility);

  • the possibility of accommodation in a university residence;

  • the same rights as full-time students enrolled at the host university.

Thanks to UPF

You benefit from:

  • paying the regular tuition fees at UPF, where you remain enrolled;

  • assistance with the administrative procedures related to your project abroad;

  • if you are a scholarship holder: you keep your scholarship under the same conditions as if you were continuing your studies at UPF;

  • recognition of your study period abroad if you pass your exams, in accordance with the learning agreement established before departure.

Going to Europe with ERASMUS+

From the second year of your Bachelor’s degree (L2), you can go abroad for a period of two to twelve months at a European higher education institution that has signed a cooperation agreement with UPF.
