Visiting Students (Undergraduate Degree Studies)

What is it?

If you are a student who wants to come to the UIB, but there is no exchange agreement for your studies between your university and the UIB, you still have the chance to come as a visiting student.

Send an e-mail to the International Relations Office including the following information: name and surname/s, e-mail address, university of origin, exchange period and field of study.

General Information

Language Requirements

Catalan and/or Spanish

The Balearic Islands have two co-official languages: Catalan and Spanish. Both are generally used in all areas of public and private life. Spanish is one of the most widely-spoken languages in the world and, like Catalan, is a Romance language. This means that those who already speak Spanish should have no difficulty when it comes to learning Catalan. Both languages are widely spoken at the UIB.

In turn, other languages can also be commonly heard and used at the UIB, especially when it comes to research stays, placements or Master’s theses.

With a view to helping students adapt to both languages, the UIB runs Catalan and Spanish courses for students on mobility programmes.

After receiving the details for the exchange, the SRI will send every student an e-mail with information about the online application procedure and a link and password with which to access it.

Once they have received their access key, students must fill in and confirm their online application form at the earliest possible time.

Once this is done, you must:

  3. Send the following documents to the UIB:
    1. The application form, with all the required signatures

    4. Your original academic record or a certified copy of it, and a document in which the grading system used at the university of origin is set out
    5. Two letters by lecturers from the home institution who endorse your application
