The nomination will include the following student data: 

• Full name as it appears on passport or ID card

Once we have registered their applications, candidates will receive an e-mail with the access codes to our online platform. They will be requested to follow the instructions stated here: https://www.usc.gal/en/services/area/international/student-mobility/bilateral-agreements-incoming-instructions-application

Requested Documents

• Learning agreement stating the subjects you intend to take at the USC according to our Undergraduate degree offer, as well as their equivalent courses back home (please use the Learning agreement Form in the documents section on the right column above). It is very important that you choose those courses taught in your exchange period (1SG for stays from Sept. to Jan. and 2SG for Jan. to May under the column with Period heading in every degree)
• Transcript of records, with the courses taken at your home University so far and their marks 
• Cover letter explaining why you would like to study at the University of Santiago de Compostela
• Passport

The deadline for the online applications is the 31^st of May for the fall semester and the 31^st October for the spring semester. The documents will be then analysed and, if everything is correct, an online acceptance letter will be issued and you can start travel arrangements (i.e. applying for your visa).

Campus in two cities: Santiago de Compostela and Lugo

The University of Santiago de Compostela has Campus in two different cities: Santiago and Lugo and they offer different degrees, as mentioned here. You cannot take courses from both Campus and, since both cities are 100km apart from one another and not well communicated, you must live in the city where you will be studying.
