1. Make the request on the Banco Santander website.

Before you leave:

1. Accept the scholarship: To accept your scholarship you need to follow these steps:

a) Accept your scholarship through the Online Office UV: you must search the Online Office UV for the procedure "International Program File" and follow the acceptance steps. The deadline to accept the scholarship is:

All destinations: from February 9 to 29, 2024.

During the acceptance procedure, you shall indicate, among other things, a bank account number of which you must be the owner.

Take into account that if the deadline to present the request at the host university is prior to that established by the UV, you shall accept the grant attending to the deadline established by the host university.

Not accepting the grant before the deadline means the withdrawal to the assigned place.

Once you accept the grant, you will obtain an official nomination letter, which can be downloaded in PDF by referring to the Online Office UV in the "my procedures" section within "International Program File". This appointment is translated into English, Valencian, and Spanish.

b) Accept the scholarship on the Banco Santander website: after completing the acceptance period at the Online Office UV, you will receive an email directly from Banco Santander that will offer you the option of accepting the scholarship also on its website. You will receive this email when your scholarship is recorded and it may take a while. Once received, you will have a new period of 7 days to accept it following the instructions of Banco Santander.

2.- Apply to the host university: The bestowal of an International Programme grant does not imply an automatic acceptance by the host university. You shall present, within the established deadlines and conditions, the application form along with all the requested documentation.

3.- Admission letter from the destination university: Once you have received the admission letter issued by the destination university and before going to your destination, you must upload it to Online Office UV. To do this correctly, go to "my paperwork" and look for the Procedure International Program, then in the "actions" drop-down menu, choose "attach" and upload your letter of acceptance.

4.- Formalize your Learning Agreement with the Academic Coordinator of Mobility of your degree: You can find the opening hours for students on the web of your department. The initial study contract must be completed by the Student Services Portal so that you can enroll in international credits. You must complete the Study Contract, and your academic coordinator must close it before July 12, 2024. Otherwise, you will not be able to do the Self-enrollment. The study contract does NOT need to be uploaded to ENTREU OR EMAILED TO PROCESS THE SCHOLARSHIP. The destination university can request it signed by your mobility coordinator and, in this case, you must send the contract as requested.

5.- Make the self-enrolment in international credits: Before leaving for your stay, you have to formalize your self-enrolment at the University of Valencia. Once the study contract has been made and after your academic coordinator closes your contract in the computer application, you must access the self-enrolment according to the registration appointment communicated to you from the University of Valencia. It is expected that self-enrolment can be carried out from July 18, 2024.

Enrollment of students with a full course stay: the information from the study contract will be automatically incorporated. Students will only have to confirm that they are going to do a mobility stay when entering their self-enrolment.
Enrollment of students with a semester stay: the information from the study contract will be automatically incorporated. Students must confirm that they are going to do a semester mobility stay when entering their self-enrolment and will register the subjects they are going to take at the University of Valencia.

Mobility students must pay at the University of Valencia the registration fees for the ECTS that the students include in their study contract. You will be exempt from doing so at the destination university.

6.- Get a health insurance: As your destination is not within the European Union, you will need international insurance. Some foreign universities may require you to abide by their offered policies, especially in the US; in that case, the student will have to contract it following the instructions of the destination university. The University of Valencia requires and advises hiring the following coverage:

Medical and sanitary care for accidents or illness (required). Some foreign universities need a minimum fee for the coverage. Check their website.
Repatriation or sanitary transportation for harmed or sick people (required).
Repatriation or transportation in case of death (required).
Family transportation in case of illness or death (recommended).
Legal liability (required).
Very important: make sure your insurance policy includes health care for COVID-19

Some companies that offer these services to the university community are:

OnCampus, The Universitat de València is one of the Spanish universities adhered to this company specialized in insurance for the university community.

More information on the health insurance

An insurance is mandatory among the documents needed for the payment of the grant. You must process it before you leave and send us a copy once you arrive at your destination, following the guidelines in the “once you arrive to the host university” section.

7.- Process an entry visa for the country of destination: Most countries require an entry visa, which you must process at the country’s embassy or consulate. The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs holds a great database on the necessary procedures in each country. It is a good start, but you need to request information and process it at the embassy or consulate of the country of destination. You will need a letter of acceptance from the host university.

When traveling abroad, remember that buying a plane ticket and packing is not enough; other considerations are necessary for your well-being and tranquility. Visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' traveling recommendations, especially regarding safety.

8.- Vaccinations: They may be mandatory (you will be required to show them for the visa) or advisable. Plan vaccines with time, as some require several doses with rest periods. Here is a list of vaccination centers in Valencia. Check the recommendations given by the Ministry of Health for international trips.

9.- Register in the Traveler’s Register and the Spanish closest Embassy or Consulate to where you are staying. This registration is mandatory. Read the information published in this link to know the advantages of completing this procedure: What to Do Before Traveling Abroad
