Foreign Students

Before coming to Spain:

It is specially important that you verify your applicability for a VISA before coming to Spain. The International Relations Bureau provides remote support and information about this issue. Please, visit the following link for more information.

Once admitted, it is very important that you follow the instructions for registration that are e-mailed to you, particularly taking original degrees and their legalization following the instructions explained here. Note that this legalization must be obtained in the country of origin, and coming to Spain without it may prevent registration, and needing to travel back to the country of origin to complete the required paperwork.

Other Useful information:

International students arriving to our University should contact the Mobility Office. Please, visit particularly the Student Mobility Unit.

The Student Mobility Unit is part of the International Relations Bureau of UPC. Through its reception office for incoming international students (OMI in Barcelona), the International Relations Service promotes mobility and informs and helps international students who come to UPC, particularly regarding the mandatory legal procedures and paperwork necessary to legalize their stay here (according to their profile, origin and type of stay).

The Unit also provides information and assessment on the city, accommodation, Catalan and Spanish language courses, health insurance, scholarships, and the various procedures necessary for your stay in Spain,
