APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR
VISITING STUDENTS


 

Application Period & Deadlines

Full academic year or first semester: 15th March to 30th June

Second semester: 15th August to 1st November

Who must apply?

Visiting students, seeking for regular courses and courses in English at the University of Cantabria, from a university institution of comparable level to a Spanish university with no bilateral agreement with the UC, who are spending a study period of not longer than one academic year and who must pay the fees corresponding to the credits they enrol for.

Instructions for the application procedure

Please complete all the fields with the information required on each field of the application form.

To be admitted as a 'Visiting student', the student must be registered at a higher education institution similar to the Spanish universities.

Students can register for a maximum of 60 ECTS credits, as is the case for all other exchange students. The minimum period of stay for which they will be admitted is one semester and the maximum two semesters.

Students can freely choose the courses they wish to take according to their interests, credit limits and the course offer.

Students will be notified during the month of June whether they have been admitted to the University and, upon arrival, will pay the same fees as local students. The price to pay for registration and other rights will be the same as that established for the regular students. As well as the registration fee, the student is required to pay for the student card and the student insurance (the latter only in the case of under 28 years old).
