The selection will be made considering the linguistic requirement of the Universitat de València and the students’ average mark compared to the average mark of their degree.

8 - How can I make recognised the credits I have done in the foreign university?

The students should sign a study contract with the coordinator of the coordinator of their degree, by indicating the subjects that want to carry out in the destination university and the equivalents that will be recognised at the Universitat de València. Once finished the stay, the destination university will send the marks and the recognition of credits will be made by taking into account the study contract.

9 - How do I justify the linguistic requirement?

The information related to the linguistic level required in each university can be consulted at the Portal Servei Estudiants within the option “Exchange programmes with other universities”.

In general, each destination there is only one language and competency level that the student have to credit. Nevertheless, in the destinations where it appears two or more languages, the accreditation of the level in any of them will be valid to comply with the linguistic requirement of this call.
