Language Level
Our classes are taught in Spanish or Catalan. That is why we request a language certificate (B1) to ensure that the student will be able to correctly understand the classes. In any case, if you do not have an official language certificate (SIELE, DELE, CELU, TELC or similar), you must commit to acquiring a sufficient level before your arrival at ESDAPC and during your stay.
We make available to students a free language course that can serve as reinforcement and that, if your university admits it, can grant you 3 ECTS.
We also guide students with a low level of language to choose only practical subjects.
On the other hand, our teachers are used to the presence of Erasmus students in their classrooms and, although they do not teach in English, they can help them or even translate some essential aspects.
LANGUAGE COURSE
Because all classes are taught in Catalan or Spanish, ESDAPC offers a free Language Course (of Spanish or Catalan) at an external language school. This course is compulsory for those students who cannot accredit a B2 level of Spanish or Catalan before the start of their mobility.
It can provide you with 3ECTS if your home university accepts it.
European Health Insurance Card
Before your arrival, you need to have your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). As an Erasmus student, student social security covers you abroad, but you will need the EHIC to use the services.
What the European Health Insuance Card is (and what not)→
Beware, the application must be made at least 15 days before departure.
