1| What does it mean to be a visiting student at UPF?
To be a visiting student at UPF means to be a student taking a number of subjects, as part of a bachelor degree, without forming part of an official exchange programme in which UPF is taking part.

2| Who can be elegible as an undergraduate visiting student?
Any student applying for admission to UPF as a visiting student must already be registered at his/her university of origin at the same level of studies as the courses he/she wishes to follow at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Please bear in mind that if you want to enrol in subjects from diferent studies you have to do one application process for each (this means that you have to send us as many student application materials as studies you want to be accepted in).

3|Which are the procedures to register as a visiting student?
On being admitted, the visiting student must formally register for the courses he/she wishes to take from the faculty or school to which he/she has been admitted. This process must be completed within the timeframe set for students on official exchange. Successful registration will depend on the availability of places on the courses applied for.

Please, bear in mind that the application period is for all terms of the academic year 2010-11
