Visiting Students
Information
The visiting student programme is aimed at students who wish to complete their education by studying certain subjects, chosen from all those taught at the university.
The ULPGC welcomes university students from non-Spanish universities who wish to study any of the subjects taught in the different courses offered by our university and whose universities of origin do not have agreements or mobility programmes that allow them to enrol.
Visiting students are all those students or graduates from non-Spanish universities who, in order to broaden their training or to carry out a temporary stay, have been admitted to ULPGC centres to take part of the undergraduate or non-pre-vocational master’s degree courses taught at the ULPGC. Visiting students enrolled at the ULPGC will obtain a certificate of studies with the express mention that these studies do not have academic effects at the ULPGC.

- 2º Semester: 1st September until 31st December

The price per ECTS credit for the enrolment of students taking certain subjects with the authorisation of the University under the Free Mover programme will be the same price as that established in the Decree of the Government of the Canary Islands establishing and regulating the public prices for the provision of academic and administrative services of the public universities of the Canary Islands.
