How does the admissions process work? 

To carry out a mobility stay at ESIHMar, it is necessary to follow a regulated process that guarantees the correct allocation of places and the planning of clinical practices.

Nomination process:

Nomination process: the first step is institutional. Your home university must have an active bilateral agreement with ESIHMar and must officially nominate you as a candidate.

  • Procedure: Nominations must be sent by email to the International Bureau or via the official form provided by our center.
  • Deadlines:
    • First quarter (September-December): until April 30
    • Second and third trimester (January-June): until May 30

Application and admission:

Once your nomination has been received and accepted, we will send you instructions on how to register online. You will need to prepare and submit the following documentation:

  • CV
  • Transcript
  • Letter of motivation
  • Passport or national ID
  • Passport-size photo
  • European Health Insurance Card or Health/Travel Insurance
  • Vaccination history
  • Language Certificate
  • Liability and accident insurance

Result: after reviewing your documentation, if everything is correct, you will receive an Official Letter of Acceptance to process your visa or scholarship.

Academic and language requirements:

To ensure a good use of the stay, candidates must be enrolled in Bachelor's Degree programs in Nursing and have previous academic experience in the sector.

  • Language skills:
    • English level B2 compulsory
    • Catalan or Spanish: level B1 recommended.

Note: although you can request a clinical mentor who speaks English, the healthcare activity in Barcelona's hospitals and health centers is mostly carried out in Catalan and Spanish. It is recommended to have basic knowledge of both to interact with patients.

Structure of the academic offer:

Our teaching is organized in a quarterly system, combining theoretical morning sessions with supervised clinical practices.

  • Theoretical schedule: Monday to Friday in the morning, afternoon or night shift.
  • Academic calendar:
    • 1st quarter: September-December
    • 2nd quarter: January-March
    • 3rd quarter: April-June
