When your university selects you as an exchange student, your coordinator must send your nomination via our nomination form(*) before 31 May / 31 October.
(*) Partner universities will receive an email with the link.

You will receive in your email an invitation to access an online form where you will have to register and you will have to fill in all your details, as well as those of your university and coordinator. In order for the registration to be valid, you must also attach the mandatory documents:

  •     academic agreement signed by you and by your coordinator

The insurances are compulsory, if you do not provide them you will not be able to do your mobility with us. You can see the information about the insurances here.

If you want to do your Bachelor's Thesis / Master's Thesis here, you must also send us your CV and a motivation letter, and we will find a tutor for you. Once you have been assigned a tutor, you should contact him/her so that he/she can tell you the steps to follow.

Buddy Programme

The aim of this programme is to help visiting students to integrate into our school and our culture. To this end, student volunteers welcome exchange students, accompany them to the welcome meeting and explain how the school works (timetables, publications, cafeteria, associations, etc.) so that their stay is as easy as possible from the start.

After receiving your mobility acceptance message, your buddy will contact you to know the details of your trip to Bilbao and to welcome you on your arrival. If for any reason you do not receive any communication from your buddy, please send a message to incoming.eib@ehu.eus
