(*) Can I be admitted at UPV to enroll only in courses or projects taught in English?

Erasmus / exchange students enroll in the same courses offered to our regular (degree) students. Some of these courses are in English, but the main language of instruction remains Spanish.

Link to list of courses taught in English

- English courses (subjects) are highly demanded. The capacity of these courses is limited.

In many cases, we have many more applicants than seats available and we cannot always guarantee enrollment.

- In most cases, courses in English will be a complement to courses taught in Spanish and exchange students will be admitted on the assumption that they are also ready to follow courses in Spanish when necessary.

Presenting a Spanish language certificate (with the level required by each UPV host School / Faculty) will give you a much wider choice of courses at UPV.

Some exceptions may be:

a) students admitted by a UPV lecturer (professor) to do project work in English, such as preparation of bachelor or master thesis,
b) students from non-European countries (Direct Exchange program and students who receive a KA107/KA171 Erasmus scholarship from UPV)
c) special agreements approved by each UPV School or Faculty with certain partners

- Italian and Portuguese native speakers are expected to enroll in courses(subjects) taught in Spanish, not in English

With very few exceptions (see chart above), there is no need to present an official Spanish language certificate. Experience shows that these students progress quickly with their Spanish skills once in Spain, but they must complete some (self) training in basic Spanish before arrival.

​In the application and pre-arrival phase, these student students should prepare a study program with courses taught in Spanish. Once at UPV, it might be possible to enroll in some courses taught in English as well, but only when there are no capacity problems in those courses. This will only be confirmed during the period of registration in the courses at the beginning of each semester.
​

- When you apply to UPV, you will have to select one UPV School or Faculty.

Depending on the agreement(s) signed with your university, there may be several choices, but your choice has to be consistent with your studies in your home country.

Your home university will inform UPV about the agreement or study area under which you have been selected and that will determine the choice of a host School / Faculty at UPV.

​-You must take the majority of credits from programs (degrees) available in your host UPV School / Faculty.

You may apply for some credits per semester from another UPV School / Faculty (except students who apply for our Alcoy campus).

The limit of credits outside your host School / Faculty is 12 credits in one semester or 24 credits for two semesters (full academic year), as long as you enroll in 30 or 60 ECTS, respectively. If you enroll in fewer credits, this limit will be reduced accordingly.

- Do not expect to take English courses outside your host UPV School / Faculty.

Do not take enrollment in courses from another School of Faculty for granted, especially courses in English (courses offered in a UPV degree which does not belong to your host UPV School or Faculty).

Courses taught in a different School / Faculty are often restricted to students who have a certain academic background. English courses are often really full and the School in charge will prioritize enrollment for students accepted under their own agreements.

Once at UPV, it might be possible to get a spot in an English course taught at another School, but only if there are no capacity problems and if the course has no particular pre-requisites. This will only be confirmed during the period of registration in the courses at the beginning of each semester.

- The courses included in your application are just a preliminary list. A letter/email of admission at UPV is not a guarantee of enrollment in each of those courses

Even if we sign your Erasmus+ Learning agreement containing certain UPV courses, you must take this simply as a pre-approval, not as a guarantee of enrollment in each of your choices. You will have to reconfirm your list of courses right before the beginning of the semester (this time after checking the timetables) and then UPV staff will check the capacity (seats available) and all the reconfirmed requests.

For particular cases, please consult with the staff of the International Office of the UPV host School, Faculty, or campus where you will be applying.
