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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
