Before the mobility

Exchange students must meet the admission requirements of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities:

• Be enrolled in a related field of study.
• According to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), students enrolling in courses offered by the Faculty must meet a minimum language requirement depending on the language of instruction of the selected courses.

Students taking courses in English:

• No language certificate is required for students coming from English-speaking countries.
• Students from non-English-speaking countries must demonstrate a minimum B2 level of English.
• In any case, students are advised to consult course syllabi, as some courses may require a higher level.

Students taking courses in Spanish and/or Catalan:

• No language certificate is required for students from Spanish- or Catalan-speaking countries or regions.
• Due to the linguistic proximity between Spanish and Catalan, a B2 certificate in either language is sufficient regardless of the language of instruction.
• Students from other countries must demonstrate a minimum B2 level in Spanish or Catalan.

The required level may be demonstrated through:

• An official certificate
• A certificate issued by the home university confirming the required level
• A certificate confirming that the student studies fully in the language or has completed at least 90 ECTS credits in it.

Students selected by their home universities for the Erasmus+ or UAB Exchange Programme for the academic year 2026–2027 must complete the online application via the Incoming Exchange section here: https://sia.uab.cat/.
