The following information applies to students accepted under the following programs:
- Direct Exchange Program with non-European institutions (North America, Australia, Asia-Pacific)
- Erasmus KA171 students who will receive an Erasmus+ grant directly from UPV
These students can be accepted for a study program in English only (courses or projects). Keep this in mind:
- We only have a handful of programs taught fully in English. The courses (subjects/modules) in English offered to exchange students are mostly individual units from programs that are taught mainly in Spanish.
- English-taught courses (subjects/modules) are offered both to UPV degree students and to incoming exchange students. UPV degree-seeking students always enroll before exchange students.
- English-taught courses (subjects/modules) have limited availability. Priority is given to students accepted under these programs, but enrollment in specific courses is not guaranteed.
- You may combine courses from different faculties, but you must choose one host faculty and take most credits there. Enrolling in courses outside your host faculty, especially in English, can be challenging due to high demand and timetable conflicts. In our main campus in Valencia, you must also consider the distances between some faculties.
