End

 I thinkthat the blog ends here for the moment I have tried to explain the steps to ask for the Erasmus. Others things that you have to prepare like baggage and stuff, no longer correspond to this blog. Make the bag with time and not get bogged down by anything. Everything at its mome...

Payment of the scholarship

 Do not fret in the payment of the scholarship. The Autonomous University of Madrid take a long time. I receive the confirmation of the payment in late December, and another in early April. It is assumed that a final payment remains to arrive in June (hopefully). Payments are strange and sensel...

Flying

 When it comes on and you know you are accepted and you have any problem with the subjects, it is time to buy the plane to go. It is normal that you've already looked at before, but I recommend to don’t  buy until you are sure you're going to go, then if for some reason you cann...

Sign Financial Agreement

 Do not you forget to sign the financial agreement in the university, the ORI. There are some dates to do it. Do not forget to sign it, because if not, you will lose your scholarship! I signed even before knowing I was safe Umea, but hey that's the way ... When I signed it gave me an envelope w...

letter from Umea

Around mid-June (I received it on the 20th June), you will get a large envelope from the University of Umea (do not know how it goes in other universities). In the envelope there are:-Letter of aceptance: very important. Is the letter that says you're admitted to the University of Umea, and saying t...

Now you have to wait

During the following months, if you're lucky, you will not do anything, just wait. As I said, if you're lucky. If not, you can get emails from the host university, telling that some of the subjects you have requested could not do them (as happened to me.) In principle it is quite normal andther...

Learning agreement

One of the paperworks that it is necessary to do is the learning agreement, although it depends on the university of destination. The University gives you one quite simple, but a lot of universities will ask you for more detailed one (as the one of Umea). Here you have to put your personal...

Think about the subjects

Think well the subjects that you will choose. In Umea subjects are one a time. If you can choose between several courses, it would be better if they were easier , but if you are fluent in English ,do not worry if you take a subject very difficult. I took the first the most difficult of all...

Learning agreement

Once you have decided on the subjects they want to validate, you must complete the learning agreement. The papers give you the college, but you have to fill in your details and complete the list of subjects you want to study at the host university, and who want to validate. This paper, in principle,...

Validations

 This step is the most important of all. You have to find some validation that are consistent with your career next year. The best thing is that you have already thought that subjects want to validate, but not always easy, because maybe in the destination you've been given some important subjec...

Meet your Coordinator

To give you a place of Erasmus, you will automatically be assigned a coordinator.Usually assigned based on the destination you go (mine was the coordinator for allNordic destinations.) The coordinator is in the list of places of Erasmus. Search your mail and stays with him. He will help a lot with t...

First news of the Erasmus

 In early January, they will publish a list of selected people for Erasmus. Howerver, all are selected except those that don’t arrive until minimum requirements. This list is pretty stupid. If you know that you meet the minimum requirements, this list is useless. Check it out, a...

First paperwork

 By early December, you do the first paperwork to request your place of Erasmus. Usually send emails to corporate email. If not, used to enough put ads on the Internet. This first paperwork is quite simple. You have to put your main data, and put in order of preference between 10 and 15 destina...

Looking for subjects

One thing that will decide your mark and Erasmus is the hassle of validation. To choose your destination, you need to know if you can validate the subjects you want to do. Often there is no all subjects you'd want, or are not in the language that you can do. At my university most of the subject...

Requirements

 Before attempting to apply for a position, look carefully the minimum requirements. There aren't many. But meeting them, ensuring you do not have a place, only lets you qualify. You have to have all subjects in the first year of the course approved. That is, until you can not go third Erasmus ...

Decide you want to study during your exchange

Depends on the course where you go on Erasmus, you will have more or fewer optionsat the time of choosing the subjects to want to study in your destination country. As a general rule you have to do 30 credits per semester. Others Universities will validatefrom 1.2 to 1.5 credits at your univers...

the average is important

An important factor taken into account at the moment to give you the scholarship, and especially to classify the students for the destinations, is the average of your academic record. My average at the end of the first course was quite high, so I had more preference than other people to choose ...

The cages

All buildings have a number of "cages" to save the old stuff, or things that do not want in your room (or bags, or furniture in the room you do not use). There is no predefined cage per room, unless there is a hallway with many cages. If you see an empty and unlocked, it's yours. Put a loc...

Bike\'s houses

In front of the buildings, there is usually a small wooden buildings. You can only open some of them (one or 2), and there, you can store your bike. When you arrive in summer it will be full and there won´t be space for your bike, but that's because most of the bikes that are there are abandon...

The organic waste is in a recycled paper bags, which are under the sink, next to the one of ...
