Partnership or collaboration agreements and support programmes for student exchanges and mobility

The Complutense University of Madrid has its own on-site partnership programmes for the mobility of lecturers and students alike with universities around the world, and in which students from the Faculty of Geography and History can participate with regard to taking courses and conducting academic or research activities.

Student mobility and exchanges are focused on the SICUE (the System for Exchanges Between Spanish Universities) programmes in Spain and the ERASMUS programme on a Europe-wide level.   

The management and coordination of mobility programmes and extra-curricular internships falls under the responsibility of the Vice Deanship of International, Institutional and Student Relations and the Mobility Office of the Faculty of Geography and History, with the support of the MA’s Coordinating Team. 

All information related to procedures, agreements with public or private universities/institutions, places offered, and application procedures is published (in Spanish) on the website of the Faculty of Geography and History on International and Mobility Relations.

Furthermore, students can carry out extra-curricular Internships in public or private institutions in line with the MA programme in which they are enrolled. These extra-curricular Internships are managed and monitored by the UCM’s Office of Internships and Employment (OPE).
