Mobility programs
Erasmus placement in the ESMUC
If you want to do a half year or an academic year in the ESMUC, you must first approach the International Relations Office of your centre. If the Centre has an agreement with the School, there are already established channels for sending us your application. Your centre will inform you whether you have been accepted. If there is no established bilateral agreement, it will also be your centre's office that will deal with the Erasmus application, with other previous processes for establishing an agreement between both centres.
You will find the necessary information on the ESMUC study plan on the School website. When you make your application, you must consult this information to decide which subjects you want to do. It is important that you should establish the subject and the period of interest to you, for later it will be impossible to change individual subject decisions, and it is possible that some collective subjects might be closed having reached the limit on the number of students.
The precise establishment of the subjects will be confirmed by approving or not approving the subjects requested in your Learning Agreement, which will be returned to you before the beginning of your placement. If any of the subjects has to be modified later, and this is possible, this must necessarily be reflected in a modification of the original Learning Agreement, which your original centre must also accept.
