There are different type of experiences for students from abroad.
For example, If you are from South America you will need a visa to enter Europe. This will do the steps more difficult and longer.
Not only that, you are going to be able to travel with the visa Schengen but this will not serve for all European countries, for example, United Kingdom.

Unlike European exchange students they do not need to make this step and can travel all around Europe with any problem at all. Also its a totally different experience because your are not so far away of your family or reality. For latin students its a different plan. They come to study and travel all around Europe in the weekend with friends.
They take advantage and travel to know everything in an easy and simple way, since in Europe everything is closely together. But for the Europeans this is a trip more of knowing "Spain" and doing a social university life, since they already know and live nearby and does not come to be the same feeling.

Experiences on the UEM


When I got here I had a problem with the registration. I came in from Peru, my residence country with a schedule that the UPC, my university of Lima has gave it to me.
When I got the UEM the woman that worked for the international office told me that my schedule was wrong and that I wasn't going to be able to take those subjects.
So for three weeks, while classes were already started I had to wait for them to put me in other subjects that were available. Newly the third week of classes I had all my subjects.
Then for a lot of them I loose some works because I wasn't there when they left them.

On the other hand, I also had a problem with my UEM identification. They told me it was going to be ready for three weeks and until now that we are almost in the last week of classes. I went to student attention and they told me that I had to talk that with the people in charge of the bank (Santander) that they were the ones dealing with this problem. They told me they were going to send it to my house in like 3 weeks more. The thing is I never received my UEM identification and that I never got one.

Who are we?


We offer a service for international students who come to study in the UEM and don't knowhow the university works.
We offer a guide that will help this students to feel more comfortable and to adapt easier and fasters to the university culture.
