Non-EU students will be required to apply for a student visa. Tourist or work visas are not valid for study in a Spanish university. Students are responsible for their visa applications, and UIC will provide support for any necessary letters from the university for the student. Admitted students will be provided the contact of a lawyer, expert in immigration and student visas, who provides consultation services to UIC students. We do not provide letters for the student’s dependents or relatives. You are responsible for checking the application processes and requirements specific to your nationality with your local Spanish Consulate or Embassy.

However, online participation and blended mobility learning experience could be an option perfectly consistent with the education methods in place. Specific cases will be discussed during the interview

Once you arrive in Barcelona, you may be required to apply for a NIE, an identification number for foreign residents. UIC will provide support through documents required from the university, but students are responsible for their own application process, including getting previous appointments online (“cita previa”).
