SICUE Programme

The SICUE Programme is an exchange system among Spanish universities.

General Information

The programme is open for applications from February 13 to 28, 2025. Applications must be submitted through the university's student portal. Students can check the list of host universities for each degree and should research their preferred destinations, visiting their websites and checking relevant information for exchange students.

Applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Undergraduate students must have passed a minimum of 42 ECTS credits by October 15, 2024.
• Students must have been enrolled in a minimum of 30 ECTS credits of the same degree programme during the academic year.

• Students who were awarded a SICUE grant during the academic year and renounced the mobility without notice are not eligible candidates.

Selection of Candidates

Places will be awarded on the basis of the student's average grade by October 15, 2024. The average grade is calculated according to the provisions of Royal Decree 1125/2003 and the Call rules and regulations.
