EINA Bachelor’s Degree in Design courses offer students the possibility of completing part of their courses at other European universities or universities around the world. Mobility programmes facilitate this possibility in academic terms and also offer financial assistance for placements abroad.
Student mobility is a priority objective for the creation of an integrated European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that, with exchanges between European students and students from around the world, can be expanded into a true knowledge internationalisation experience. The EINA mobility service, in collaboration with the UAB, offers information and management that enables EINA students to study part of the syllabus abroad, and also looks after visiting students. The programmes that promote exchanges are:
Erasmus Students. Exchange programme with European universities that benefit from the Erasmus grant. This programme thanks to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), recognises the credits taken at host universities.
• UAB Exchange programme Student mobility programme with partner universities outside Europe (primarily the Americas, Asia and Oceania).
Erasmus Internships. Programme for internships completed within the EU.
These programmes involve bilateral cooperation agreements between EINA and various major universities in different countries and the chance to access the UAB exchange programme. The international exchange office also promotes and manages staff exchanges. These consist of short stays by EINA teaching staff at foreign universities or the hosting of foreign teachers, and are aimed at contributing to the transfer of teaching knowhow and experience with a view to forming a European and international community of teachers and designers.

Calls
Requirements
To complete an exchange programme, students must be enrolled on a bachelor’s degree at the UAB or one of its affiliated centres when they apply and be matriculated as a student while they are studying abroad.
Students must bear in mind that, if they are selected to go on an exchange but have obtained all the credits required on the syllabus for the receipt of the degree during the previous academic year their transcript will be automatically closed. Once a transcript has been closed, it cannot be reopened and in this case, students would not be able to take up their exchange place as they would no longer be students and able to enrol, which as stated above is an essential requirement for being an exchange student.
A student needs to have passed 60 credits when submitting their application. However, we recommend that they take part in the mobility programmes during their third or fourth year to ensure the optimum validation of credits. Foreign language certificates help students to obtain a higher ranking when they request a mobility exchange and are essential when applying for grants from the Government of Catalonia.
