Visiting Students
What is it?
If none of the other available programmes meet your expectations, you may build your own tailor-made exchange.
Through this programme you have the chance to do part of your studies at any overseas university that receives visiting students, on condition that your application is accepted.
You will need to apply directly to the university you are interested in, and pay the corresponding registration fee.
If you are admitted by the host university, the UIB will help you carry out the necessary procedures leading to recognition of the subjects you take at the receiving university.
The length of the stay depends on the academic calendar at the host university.
