The student must read the terms and conditions of the call published by the US to find out about the procedure to be followed, deadline, obligations and rights. Each applicant may apply for the places in order of preference.

Applications should preferably be submitted electronically through the procedure for the submission of applications and generic model applications available at the Sede Electrónica of the University of Seville, for which a digital certificate from the FNMT or electronic ID card is required. They can also be presented at the General Registry (Registro General) of the University of Seville (C/ San Fernando, 4) or in its Auxiliary Registries (Pabellón de Brasil: Paseo de las Delicias s/n) with the following documents that must also be sent to internationaloffice@eusa.es for full registration. It is essential to print a copy of the final application as a guarantee receipt.

• Application form for affiliated centres (click to download)
• Academic certificate of studies. Request it from the EUSA Secretariat as far in advance as possible as it may take several days to process.
• Photocopy of the official language accreditation.

The results will be published on the same US website where the call has been announced. Once the final results have been announced, the US (Universidad de Sevilla) will inform the foreign universities about the students so that they can receive the necessary information to register online at the host university. Each student is fully responsible for making their own registration on the date stipulated by their host university.

If you are an Erasmus+ holder, please read the following information carefully in order to comply with the obligations and procedures correctly. The student is responsible for reading the requirements of the call published by the US, in order to correctly carry out all the required procedures in time and form, as well as all the relevant information needed.

There are no excuses with this summary! This section will help you get your ideas organised and make your experience easier.

BEFORE LEAVING TO DO LIST

1) The student must make the arrangements established by his/her host university for admission in a timely manner. The host university will contact the Erasmus holders directly, so students should check their email regularly without forgetting the spam mailbox. If they do not receive information after some time, they must contact the EUSA International Office.

2) Make the study agreement with the help of the Grade Coordinator. In this document you will find the courses that will be taken both at the host university and those that will be validated by EUSA. The student may suggest subjects to be taken at the host university (visit the university website) to be included in the agreement. This document will be effective when signed by the student, the Erasmus+ university and EUSA. Once signed by all of them, it must be sent to movilidad@us.es and internationaloffice@eusa.es.  Study Agreements that have not been reviewed by EUSA will not be accepted. It is recommended to do it before the month of May.

Once there it is likely that the study agreement will have to be modified, so contact the Grade Coordinator. Help your coordinator and send him/her an updated list of the courses that can be offered to you once you are in your destination! If the modification affects the courses chosen in EUSA, the student must inform the Secretary (secretaria@eusa.es). The last modified agreement must be sent to the University of Seville to replace the old one. Modifications must be resolved within 15 days of arrival at the Erasmus+ University.

3) Submit to US International Relations a copy of the outbound flight ticket, study agreement, account number (download here) and insurance policy covering repatriation in case of illness or accident.

4) Take the mandatory OLS (Online Linguistic Support) test to evaluate linguistic competence. The results obtained will not have any consequence, although this requirement is essential to process the final payment of the support. The Erasmus+ OLS platform will send by email an invitation to do so, if you do not receive it contact the US to request the sending again.

5) Once the previous steps have been taken, request the Subsidy Contract (Contrato de Subvención) from the US, which should be sent to movilidad@us.es.

6) Other documents you will need for your Erasmus stay:

• Original certificate of arrival, signed and sealed by the host university
• Original certificate of stay, signed and sealed by the host university
• ID card or passport valid until return
• Passport size photo
• European Health Insurance Card or equivalent

7) Tuition exemption at the host university does not imply price exemption in EUSA. For the validation of courses, each student must pay the full amount that corresponds to their registration during the current course in EUSA as usual, in the same period as always, always indicating to the Secretariat which subjects they will take abroad. Any change in the original EUSA enrolment fee due to a modification in the study agreement must be notified to the Secretary.

8) Students who wish to modify their period of stay must obtain the approval from EUSA and the host university. Once approved, send the Modification of Stay document to the US, duly justified and signed. If the student decides to do so while in the destination country, this modification must be made before November 10th. Download the document here.

ONCE THERE

1.  Students who have travelled in their own vehicle must submit the certificate of arrival and send it to the US signed and sealed. All students, before coming back to Spain, must hand in the certificate of stay at their destination university so that it is also signed and sealed.

2.  Review the study agreement with the class schedules so that courses do not overlap. If this is the case, let the International Office/Head of Studies know so that they can study the modification of the agreement and, if approved, in case the modification affects enrolment in the EUSA, the student must notify the Secretary of the Centre. The student will be able to add courses from the host university chosen of his/her interest. The modification will be made in the shortest time possible, within 1 MONTH from the date of arrival, and must be signed by: the student, the home university and the host university (all of them). Check out the point 2 of the first block.

3. Before the return, all Erasmus students must obtain their grades to submit to the International Office of EUSA for the validation of subjects. Without this document the courses taken abroad cannot be recognised.

---

AFTER THE RETURN TO SPAIN

Students must deliver, within 15 calendar days of their return from their stay:

1. Erasmus + questionnaire which SEPIE will send by e-mail to the student about the development of his stay at the host university (to be handed in at the US).

2. Original certificate of stay signed and sealed by the host university (must be delivered to the US).

3. Final qualifications of the period abroad (delivered to the International Office of EUSA). Without this document the subjects taken abroad will not be recognised and the full scholarship will not be obtained.

4. Take the online Erasmus + OLS level test (US).

Check out the Erasmus recommendations here before you pack!

Use these two lists to find out if you are ready and take everything you need before you leave.

First, do your research:

1. Look for accommodation (shared apartment/student dorm)
2. Search for flights in different websites
3. Find out where to exchange currency if necessary
4. Look for the health center/hospital near the accommodation at your destination before you leave
5. Locate supermarkets near the accommodation
6. Familiarize yourself with daily transportation (buses, subway, telephone cab, trains, Uber/Cabify availability, bike rental, etc.)
7. Find transportation from the airport to your accommodation and vice versa
8. Look at the climate of the country to decide what to wear

 

Carry them with you:

1. Valid ID card/passport until after return
2. European Health Insurance Card and/or private health insurance
3. Insurance policy that covers those contingencies not foreseen by the European Health Insurance Card (including civil insurance and repatriation)
4. Cash and/or credit card

Check your host university’s website: it will help you find useful information about the study plans, schedules, accommodation, registration, calendar and deadlines for sending the required documents. All universities have a section called “International”, “Erasmus”, “Study Abroad” or similar.

The search for accommodation in the destination country is the responsibility of the student. This task takes quite a bit of time, so we recommend that you get started on it as soon as possible. Usually, Erasmus students choose between the university residence or a shared apartment.

Some universities offer housing services in their own residences or others which they have agreements with. If you hurry, this is the safest option for accommodation! If you have any doubts, we recommend you to contact the coordinator of the host university and ask for this service or other interesting information that can help you.

There are forums where students look for information about accommodation in the city they are going to study in. This can be useful to know which areas are ideal for students and which are not recommended. These forums can be used as a guide, but keep in mind that the information there is not always safe.
