Exchange programs

The Erasmus programme permits UC3M first degree and post graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which UC3M has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, that is a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which are provided by the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education.

The non-european mobility program enables UC3M degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the UC3M.

These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold  (English, French, German etc..) requested by the university of destination.

European mobility

Non european mobility

European mobility in master's programs

Through the European Erasmus+ program, students at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid can spend a period of study at a higher education institution in another European country.

The exchanges will be carried out in two ways

• European Mobility with recognition of ECTS credits of the Master itself (International academic stay to take courses of the Master).
• International Complement, once the courses of the Master in which they are enrolled have been completed (International Academic Stay as Complementary Training).
