Application Package

Selected students must be nominated by the International Office of their home University to the relevant UPM School according to the signed Interinstitutional Agreement.

Every UPM School may have its specific admission procedure. Generally this implies sending the Application Package to the International Office at the relevant UPM School before its deadline.

Once enrolled, the student will receive the UPM Identity Card (giving free access to services like the library) and a UPM e-mail account.

 

Language requirements

The language of study is mainly Spanish, but please have a look at the different study programmes (course catalogues). When signing the student’s learning agreement, the home Institution guarantees that the student has sufficient knowledge of the Spanish language to follow courses and to pass exams. Generally, it is advisable to have a Spanish language level equivalent to, at least, A2/B1 (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

 

Spanish language courses

UPM offers “Spanish language courses applied to science and technology” to all incoming students, through its PROgramme of Languages for INternationalization (PROLINTER).

Starting early September, UPM offers Spanish intensive language courses, that may be complemented with a course during the first or second semester.

You can find information about these courses at UPM Language Program for Internationalization website.
