No application will be accepted from students who have not been previously nominated by their institution (Erasmus / Latin America and Other Destinations / SICUE student nomination).

We only have a single nomination period for mobilities that will take place from September 24 to June 25, regardless of the semester in which the mobility takes place. The deadlines are as follows :

• ERASMUS: From February 1st to May 31st

Students will not be admitted in June, July and August (non lective). 

Priority period for clinical placements in the 6th year of Medicine: September to December. Placements outside these dates will be assessed but there is no guarantee that places will be available.

After receiving the nomination from the university of origin (see previous point) and once the mobility application has been accepted by the UPV/EHU (an e-mail will be sent with the acceptance by the institution), students must fill in the registration form for the corresponding degree:

• Degree in Nursing (Leioa)
• Degree in Physiotherapy
• Degree in Medicine (1st year - 5th year)

Placements will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Nursing and Physical Therapy internships will be assigned based on grade order.

  • The Royal Decree-Law 2/2023 of March 16th, establishes the obligation for the University to contribute to social security for certain student internships. For this mandatory procedure, it is necessary to provide the following documents/data:
    • Foreign students: 
      • Erasmus: you will have to apply for the NIE: We recommend to apply for the NIE before your arrival at the Consulate (see more information). It will be enough to send us the application form processed at the immigration office. 
      • Students from Latin America + other destinations: If you have applied for a student visa, the NIE is automatically processed together with the visa, so you will not need to send us anything.
    • All students doing Practicum in Nursing or Physiotherapy: Current Bank account number. Instead of sending it by mail, please fill it in this form.

Students who carry out their mobility at the Faculty of Medicine and Nursing, in any of the four degrees (Medicine, Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Dentistry), and who need to undertake internships during their stay, must bring the necessary uniform and equipment.
