Information for Mobility Students
1. Administrative Process Management
Responsible unit: International Relations Office (ORI).
The ORI is the unit responsible for managing the administrative process of mobility, including the handling of calls for applications, documentation, and institutional relations with host universities.
2. Academic Process Management
The International Relations and Mobility Coordination of the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy has the following responsibilities:
- Participating in the student selection process.
- Promoting the approval of collaboration agreements with universities or healthcare institutions.
- Agreeing on the Learning Agreement (academic agreement) with the student and proceeding with its joint signature.
- Supporting the student throughout the entire mobility period, before, during, and after the stay.
- Signing the corresponding academic transcript with the recognition of the courses completed.
3. Before Mobility at the Host University
Before starting the stay, it is necessary to formalize the academic recognition procedures through the Learning Agreement.
Learning Agreement
- The Learning Agreement is the document that specifies the courses the student will take at the host university and the UdL courses that will be subject to recognition.
- It is an official document standardized at the European level.
- It must include the number of months of the stay and the specific period, indicating the academic year and semester.
- Once at the host university, and if necessary, appropriate modifications may be made, which must be communicated to the coordination and to the ORI.
Course Recognition
- The student may decide which compulsory or elective courses to be recognized, as well as clinical placements, taking into account the following criteria:
- Compulsory courses will be recognized by courses from the same degree program, provided that there is correspondence in content and number of credits.
- Elective courses will be recognized by courses with the same number of credits, even if the content differs.
- Clinical placements will be recognized based on the number of hours, considering that 1 ECTS equals 30 hours, which include clinical care placements, simulated practice in skills laboratories, and independent work.
In the event that clinical placements are carried out partially in the host country and partially at UdL, the student must obligatorily complete the simulated clinical placements (skills laboratories) at UdL, as these are considered a prerequisite for undertaking clinical placements in healthcare institutions, specifically in the courses Clinical Practice III and IV of the Nursing Degree.
Final Degree Project
When the stay lasts longer than four months, it is recommended to complete the Final Degree Project at the host university.
If it is carried out at the host university and the teaching load of the Final Degree Project is less than 9 ECTS in the Nursing Degree or less than 12 ECTS in the Physiotherapy Degree, the corresponding committee will review the submitted work and assess whether it meets the requirements for recognition or whether it needs to be supplemented.
Documentation
The student must send the credit equivalence document to the Vice-Dean for International Relations and Mobility.
Important Recommendations
It is recommended to resolve any doubts related to the stay with the International Relations coordination of the host university, especially regarding internship regulations, such as vaccination requirements, uniforms, or medical reports, as well as the academic calendar and clinical placement schedules.
Enrollment Process at UdL
The student must inform the Academic Secretariat of their status as a mobility student and of the courses they will take at the host university, as the academic transcript in these cases is specific.
