2. have fulfilled at least 60 ECTS or equivalent within your study field 
3. be sufficiently proficient in Spanish and/or English to follow our courses 

Concerning this final point, note that as an exchange student you may choose courses taught in Spanish and/or English. Consequently, you need to be sufficiently proficient in Spanish and/or English to be able to follow, participate and be evaluated in these languages. It is sufficient that you indicate your level of English and Spanish on the Application Form, but we expect all our exchange students to have minimum of B2 proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
