Find quick answers to the most common questions about mobility processes at ESIHMar.

1. Who can apply for an international mobility place?

Any student enrolled in official bachelor's, master's or doctoral studies at ESIHMar. To be admitted, you will have to meet the specific requirements of each sitting, such as the number of credits passed, language accreditation and keep your enrolment active during the process.

2. Can I participate in more than one mobility programme during my studies?

Yes. It is possible to participate in different programmes (Erasmus+, SICUE or bilateral agreements) successively, as long as they do not coincide in time. Please note that, in the case of Erasmus+, the total sum of stays cannot exceed 12 months per study cycle.

3. Is it mandatory to prove a language level?

For the Erasmus + Internship programme, it is essential to accredit a minimum B2 level of the language of the destination country or the working language of the institution. In the case of SICUE programmes or agreements outside Europe, the requirements may vary depending on the specific agreement; We recommend that you check each destination in advance.

4. Are the internships paid?

As a general rule, host institutions do not offer direct remuneration for internships. However, the student receives the financial aid of the Erasmus + scholarship, which is intended to cover the expenses of stay and subsistence. This scholarship is compatible with other external grants.

5. What insurance policies are mandatory for your stay?

To guarantee your safety and legal coverage, it is mandatory to have:

  • European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or equivalent private health insurance.
  • Complementary health insurance (with repatriation coverage).
  • Accident insurance.
  • Civil liability insurance (included in UPF's coverage for its students).

6. How and when is the scholarship amount received?

The payment of the Erasmus+ scholarship is made in two instalments:

  • First payment (70%) is paid once the stay has started and after the delivery of the Certificate of Arrival.
  • Second payment (30%) is settled at the end of the mobility, once the Certificate of Completion has been delivered and the assessment survey (EU Survey) has been completed.

7. If I finish my studies this year, can I still go on an internship?

Yes. You can do your internship as a Recent Graduate during the year following your degree. The essential requirement is to apply for the scholarship while your enrolment is still active and before formally applying for a bachelor's or master's degree.

8. Is it mandatory to take the OLS level test?

The European Commission's OLS (Online Linguistic Support) level test is no longer a mandatory requirement of the call, although it is highly recommended. It allows you to assess your language skills before departure and access free language courses during your stay to get the most out of the experience.
