All incoming exchange students coming to UPV should give proof of their sufficient knowledge of the Spanish Language in one of the following ways:

Although the minimum required level is A1, most Schools/Faculties at UPV MAY HAVE STRICTER REQUIREMENTS, please contact the international office of your UPV school (internacional@etsii.upv.es / www.etsii.upv.es) to check the requirements.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to reach at least a B1 level before arriving at UPV in order to follow the university courses taught in Spanish. The Spanish intensive course offered on our campus in Gandia can help the student reach the required level, but it is not enough by itself, as it only provides 40 hours of teaching.
Exceptions can be considered if the applicant intends to do ONLY project work (bachelor or master thesis, etc.) supervised in English or another language. A letter or email explaining this circumstance should be enclosed with the application material. These students cannot participate in the Spanish language regular courses which begin at the A2 level of CEFR.

A motivation letter must be added to your application.

Specific requirements for Non-EU applicants:

Additional immigration documents, e.g., the host country residence permit or visa might be required; consult the embassy or immigration office of the host country for more information.
