IN SPANISH There are a large number of international institutions that gladly welcome exchange students from all over the world. Some of the most notable ones that usually participate in student exchange programs include: Erasmus+: This exchange program, very popular in Europe, is aimed at university students. To join the Erasmus+ programme, you usually need an agreement between your educational institution and the host institution, as well as meeting certain academic and administrative requirements. Fulbright: The globally recognized Fulbright program offers opportunities for students, researchers and professionals. Requirements for participation vary by country and type of scholarship, but generally include academic excellence, fluency in English, and a well-defined project or study plan. DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service): This German organization promotes international academic exchange with Germany. It provides a variety of programs for international students, from intensive language courses to scholarships for postgraduate studies. Specific requirements depend on the program you wish to apply to.
