ACCEPTANCE

Once you receive an Acceptance Letter, send a copy of the UNLIMITED HEALTH INSURANCE covering ACCIDENTS and REPATRIATION to: estudiantes-internacional.bellasartes@ehu.eus

This kind of insurance is mandatory even for visitors travelling with an EU health card.

If you do not have an accident and repatriation insurance, you must complete the one offered by the University of Basque Country/EHU (Seguro Ibili).

VISA FOR NON EU-EFTA/EEA STUDENTS

We highly recommend starting the visa application process as soon as you receive your Acceptance Letter.

Following the recommendations of SEPIE (Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education), we would appreciate it if you would send a message to incoming.international@ehu.eus when requesting your visa appointment (only for procedures outside of Spain).

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

Most courses are in Spanish or Basque. Some are offered in English, and some Spanish-taught courses are English-friendly because the professors speak fluent English. Even though knowing some Spanish gives you more options: without Spanish, your course choices will be more limited.

The University of the Basque Country/EHU offers intensive language courses to learn Spanish and Basque for international students (both are free of charge). You can find more information here.
