The first step we take as a centre is to evaluate the future and possible collaboration between the two universities. We are very careful to make sure that the curricula and courses offered by the potential collaborator adapt to the needs of our students.

What do we evaluate?
​​​​​​​
  • The areas of study offered by the collaborating university: degrees and master's degrees, which may be relevant according to the academic offer of our faculty.
  • The list of courses offered specifically to international exchange students, including the semester in which they are offered, the language of instruction and ECTS credits.
  • General information about the university (ranks, international recognition, awards and international qualification, etc.).
  • Specific information and facilities offered to exchange students (accommodation, language courses, website for international exchange students, etc.).
Once all the information has been received, the two universities decide whether to sign a bilateral agreement. If agreed, the terms are defined, such as the number of students and the areas of study, and the signature is proceeded. Thus, the institutions become partners and the exchange begins.

Every year, the Faculty of Economics and Business of the UB hosts numerous exchange students, offering a quality curriculum and extensive experience in international mobility.
