Doctoral research visits at the UB

1. Would you like to carry out a research visit at the UB? We can offer different types of research visit.
The UB offers different options for the research visit, to develop research towards the preparation of your thesis, to take part in specific training activities, or to build relationships with research groups. Get in touch with the UB's research institutes, departments and researchers and spend time with us.
2. If you are interested in carrying out a research visit at the UB as part of the Erasmus+ programme, an agreement must be in place between the UB and your home university.
