Exchange at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili

Come to the Universitat Rovira i Virgili!

Exchange students

Exchange students come to the URV in the Framework of Exchange programmes (such as Erasmus) or bilateral agreements. They spend one or two semesters at the URV and the subjects they do in the URV are recognised by their home university.

A study visit outside your university is an unforgettable experience! As well as making progress in your studies, you get to know another country, learn other languages and make new friends.

Every year, the URV receives about 500 exchange students. Would you like to be one of them?

If you wish to be a mobility student at the URV, you must first get in touch with your home university*. As soon as your home university agrees that you can come to the URV for an exchange, they will inform us about your selection. Then, we will contact you and explain what you have to do to get the official admission at the URV.

* Has your home university not signed an agreement with the URV? If you would like your university to have an agreement of this sort with us, please ask an academic coordinator from your university to get in touch with us at mou(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat.
