Acuerdos y Redes

UAL takes part in several mobility and exchange programmes for students, teaching and researcher staff, and administrative and service staff. These programmes may be subject to a common reference system (Erasmus+, ANUIES, PIMA and SICUE) or express the individual agreement of two universities (UALMundo).

In order to sign a mobility agreement, you must review the specific information on each programme included below and complete and send this supporting template to the International Relations Service at acuerdos@ual.es.

ERASMUS
is the EU's flagship programme in the field of education, training, youth and sport. Erasmus+ enables undergraduate, master's or doctoral courses to be taken in a university institution other than the one in which the student is enrolled. It also supports short mobility periods for teaching and research staff or for administrative and service staff. 
Erasmus+ Higher Education Mobility Agreements can be signed between programme countries (Key Action 131) or between programme countries and partners (Key Action 171). 

The programme countries include the European Union (EU) Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the Republic of Northern Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey. Partners can come from almost any country in the world.

To apply to sign an Erasmus+ KA131 agreement, simply fill in and send the supporting template on this page to acuerdos@ual.es.

To apply to sign an Erasmus+ KA171 agreement, an essential condition is that a project proposal is prepared in advance; this should be selected by the corresponding body, SEPIE, via competitive tendering. For more information, contact sripro@ual.es.

UALMUNDO
is UAL's own programme for the international mobility of undergraduate, master's or doctoral students. This programme enables study courses to be taken in a university institution other than the one in which the student is enrolled. To apply to sign a UALMundo agreement, simply fill in and send the supporting template to acuerdos@ual.es. For reference purposes, you can see the standard model used by the UAL below.

ANUIES-CRUE
is an international mobility programme for undergraduate, master's or doctoral students promoted by the Conference of University Rectors (CRUE, Spain) and the National Association of Universities and Higher Education Institutions (ANUIES, Mexico). This programme enables study courses to be taken in a university institution other than the one in which the student is enrolled. To apply to sign an ANUIES- CRUE agreement, simply fill in and send the supporting template to acuerdos@ual.es.

PIMA
is the Spanish acronym for the Academic Exchange and Mobility Programme, a mobility initiative for undergraduate students promoted by the Organization of Ibero-American States (OIS) with the support of the General Secretariat for Universities, Research and Technology of the Andalusian Regional Government. Those interested in participating in or promoting a PIMA network can write to acuerdos@ual.es.

SICUE
is a national mobility programme for undergraduate students promoted by the Conference of University Rectors (CRUE, abbreviated in Spanish). This programme enables study courses to be taken in a Spanish university institution other than the one in which the student is enrolled. To apply to sign a SICUE agreement, simply complete and send the supporting template to acuerdos@ual.es. Agreements are required to be signed before the date indicated by the CRUE, which is usually the end of January. For example, if a new mobility agreement for the Degree in Biotechnology is to be established with the Universidad Pablo de Olavide for the 2022/23 academic year, it must be signed before the end of January 2022 (the specific date is determined by the CRUE each year). 

Specific cooperation agreements

These specific agreements are the means for implementing international and inter-institutional studies, including double international degrees (with study itineraries designed to obtain two or more degrees, one from each participating university) or in joint international degrees (in which the curricula are provided jointly by two or more institutions in several countries to obtain a single degree, which is valid in several states).

This shall be managed by the Secretariat for the Promotion of Internationalization, Vice-Rectorate for Internationalization, (promint@ual.es) as a first step, and subsequently either by the Secretariat of Degrees, Vice-Rectorate of Academic Planning, (sgrados@ual.es) for degree studies or by the Secretariat of Masters, Vice-Rectorate for Postgraduate Studies, Employability and Relations with Companies and Institutions (smaster@ual.es) for master's degree studies. 

A framework agreement is an agreement on a set of guidelines for academic cooperation, with further details to be agreed upon in one or several specific agreements in the future.

UAL does not require a framework agreement to give effect to specific agreements, but it can sign them when required by another university or process, such as AACID cooperation projects. 

To sign such an agreement, the template below must be sent to acuerdos@ual.es. The proposal needs to be completed by the project promoter and the university or partner institution must be submitted, including a screenshot of the website or document in which the other party certifies the authority of the signatory.
