International students may study here as an exchange student, but without receiving any academic degree from the UPCT, in either of the following two ways:
1. An international programme for a fixed period and only for part of your course of study (Erasmus, etc.) or
2. A specific agreement between your educational institution and our University.
It also is possible to matriculate in our University as an independent student if you meet one of the following requirements:
a) You have completed secondary school level studies in a foreign.
It is then necessary to do two things:
1 - Have your academic qualifications officially validated by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. For further information: http://wwwn.mec.es/mecd/titulos/
2 - Pass the University entrance exam (PAU)
This exam is called the "Selectividad", and is given under the auspices of the National Distance Learning University (UNED)
There are pre-established registration periods based on the country from which you are coming and in which the exam is to be taken.

b) You have started studies at a foreign university and would like to continue at the UPCT.
Modules studied abroad will be validated by a Spanish university under conditions set by the Consejo de Coordinación Universitaria.
When a course of study has been completed with the granting of a foreign diploma, the student may elect either to apply for conversion of the diploma to a Spanish degree or for validation of a portion of the degree for the purpose of further studies.
