Through the SICUE programme, students at Spanish universities can complete part of their studies at a university other than their own, with guarantees of academic recognition and credit transfer, as well as suitability for their curriculum profile.
The mobility period may last for a minimum of half a year (3-6 months, minimum 24 credits) and a maximum of a full year (up to 9 months, minimum 45 credits), as established in the agreement with the host university.
*A student who has completed a SICUE exchange at a university may apply for a new exchange and do so at the same university, provided that they are studying a different degree and in a different academic year.
