Do you want a local student to help you during your stay?

With the aim of making your stay more pleasant, the student association AEGEE-Las Palmas and ESN Las Palmas along with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers you the opportunity to participate in the Buddy Program ULPGC, a mentoring program designed to help incoming students at the beginning of their international mobility destination. In this way, a local student can help you to get to know the campus, to look for accommodation, to get to know the university services, to complete bank and administrative procedures and to carry out other necessary tasks to begin this new life stage. You can also get the ESN card with various discounts that help you in your Erasmus experience

If you want a buddy, you have until the 31th July to fill in this form

AEGEE-LasPalmas and ESN España will provide you with groups and social media, where you can have a look at the activities that this student association offers to you, start to meet new friends, search a flat (if you needed) and know relevant info about the island and the University.

The program will be managed by AEGEE-Las Palmas since its members include volunteer students who have participated in international mobility programs and they count on AEGEE-Europe’s and ESN Europe support and experience through its more than 200 local branches.

Dear students,

From the Language Centre of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Aula de Idiomas. 
 
If you are interested in taking a free-of-charge 6 ECTS Spanish course starting in February, we are going to give you some information. 
 
The course has got 6 ECTS credits; 
 
It is not a subject, so you cannot add it to your Learning Agreement;
 
However, at the end of the course and after passing a final examen we will issue a certificate with the number of credits and the final mark so that your University can validate it as a course/subject and recognize the credits;
 
The attendance will count 15% (1,5 points) for the final mark; however, if you cannot attend the classes (0/10 of attendance)  you can sit the final exam;
 
The final exam of the course will be on the last day of the course. Those courses beginning on a Monday will start on February 12th and will end on May 13th; while those courses starting on a Tuesday will begin on February 13th and will end on May 9th. 
 
HOW TO REGISTER?

HOW DO I KNOW MY LEVEL?

If you did not take the OLS test, you can take our placement test: http://auladeidiomas.ulpgc.es/prueba-de-nivel(choose ESPAÑOL) without choosing at the end any of the courses that appear.

In order to participate in any Mobility Programme with the ULPGC, except for the SICUE mobility programme (between Spanish universities), the incoming Exchange student must demonstrate that he/she has taken out private medical insurance that covers at least the following guarantees during his/her stay at the ULPGC:

• Medical and accident insurance
• Transfer/repatriation coverage in case of illness or death

VERY IMPORTANT: This Private Health Insurance is not the European Health Insurance Card. However, you need both for your exchange.

Incoming students can take out an insurance of their choice (with at least the two guarantees mentioned above) or they can also take out the insurances offered by our University called “Oncampus Estudia” or the Universitas Mundu insurance on a trip. You will find in the documentation the information about the coverages that Universitas Mundu has ( THIS SERVICE IS ONLY VALID FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT IN SPANISH UNIVERSITIES ).

The price of the insurance according to the origin of the student

The incoming student MUST take out a private medical insurance for the whole period of the exchange at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC)

Once the prívate insurance certificate is uploaded with the minimum conditions required by the ULPGC, the document will be validated and thus the acceptance letter will be prepared and signed.  This document could be downloaded through the MiULPGC platform. We also remind you that the acceptance letter is only valid if the learning agreement is duly completed and signed by both home and host Universities before coming at the ULPGC.
