The goal of this program is to help exchange students to know our Faculty and our culture. 

Volunteer students receive exchange students, attend the welcome meeting and explain to them how our Faculty works (schedules, reprography service, cafeteria, associations, and so on), to make their stay as easy as possible from the beginning.

Exchange students coming to the Faculty of Engineering in Bilbao do not need to apply for a buddy. Once they are accepted, they are assigned one of our students taking part in the buddy program. This way, after receiving the acceptance letter and the message with our welcome meeting information, each exchange student is contacted by the corresponding buddy, to know their travel plans to Bilbao and receive them on their arrival. 

If accepted exchange students do not have any communication from a buddy, they should send a message to incoming.eib@ehu.eus.
