If you are thinking of participating in an exchange programme with Bilbao School of Engineering (Erasmus, Double Degrees, USA, Asia, Latin America), you should first check that there is an agreement between your university and our School and contact your Coordinator at your home university to start the process.

In order to carry out an academic exchange at our school it is very important that the following steps are followed in accordance with the dates indicated:

Step 1. Nomination
We send our partner universities an email with the link to the nomination form. There are two nomination periods:

•     from 1 April to 31 May (first semester/autumn semester)
•     from 15 September to 31 October (second semester/spring semester)

Step 2. Online application
We contact the nominated students and provide them with the necessary information to complete their online application by:

•     9 June (first semester/autumn semester)
•     10 November (second semester/spring semester)

In order to complete the online application, you will receive in your email an invitation to access an online form where you will have to register and you will have to fill in all your details, as well as those of your university and coordinator. In order for the registration to be valid, you must also attach the mandatory documents:

•     academic agreement signed by you and by your coordinator
•     academic transcript
•     language requirements form if you are going to study subjects in English
•     a copy of your passport/identity card

Below you will find the templates to complete the Academic Agreement and the language requirements form.

VERY IMPORTANT. Insurance:
Students should contact the Welcome Centre of the UPV/EHU (info.welcomecentre@ehu.eus) to take out their medical insurance and travel assistance insurance (compulsory), and send a copy to incoming.eib@ehu.eus at least two weeks before their arrival in Bilbao.

On this web page you will find all the information you need to complete the procedure, we recommend that you read it carefully before registering. If you have any doubts, you can also contact incoming.eib@ehu.eus

Once we have checked your academic agreement, if you are accepted you will receive an admission message with information about the welcome meeting and a reminder of the documents that you must send us scanned at least two weeks before your arrival in Bilbao:

•     copy of the medical insurance
•     copy of your travel insurance
•     a copy of your home university enrolment form
•     a passport-size photograph

The insurances are compulsory, if you do not provide them you will not be able to do your mobility with us. You can see the information about the insurances here.

If you want to do your Bachelor's Thesis / Master's Thesis here, you must also send us your CV and a motivation letter, and we will find a tutor for you. Once you have been assigned a tutor, you should contact him/her so that he/she can tell you the steps to follow.

The aim of this programme is to help visiting students to integrate into our school and our culture. To this end, student volunteers welcome exchange students, accompany them to the welcome meeting and explain how the school works (timetables, publications, cafeteria, associations, etc.) so that their stay is as easy as possible from the start.

After receiving your mobility acceptance message, your buddy will contact you to know the details of your trip to Bilbao and to welcome you on your arrival. If for any reason you do not receive any communication from your buddy, please send a message to incoming.eib@ehu.eus
