Procedures for the Organization of Mobility for Incoming and Outgoing Students
The mobility activities of the University Master’s Degree in Research in Dentistry are designed, implemented, and evaluated in alignment with the programme’s objectives and the competencies students are expected to acquire upon completion of their studies. Particular emphasis is placed on mobility linked to the Final Master Project (FMP), enabling students to carry out their research at other universities or research centres in areas aligned with their interests and promoting collaboration between research groups.
For each mobility placement, a specific agreement is established with the host institution, allowing the student to join a designated research team. At the host institution, students are assigned an academic supervisor who acts as the director of the Final Master Project. The programme coordination team, with the support of the International Relations Office, is responsible for contacting the host institution, establishing the agreement, and providing information regarding the procedure. The programme also welcomes students from other master’s degrees who wish to complete all or part of their Final Master Project at UIC Barcelona.
The UIC research supervisor maintains continuous communication with the external host supervisor to ensure ongoing assessment of the student’s learning progress and the competencies acquired throughout the project. Although the Final Master Project is carried out at the host institution, the final defence and assessment take place at UIC Barcelona; therefore, no ECTS credit recognition is required at the host university.
The Faculty of Dentistry maintains agreements and collaborative projects with numerous internationally renowned universities, including institutions such as Geneva, Athens, Montpellier, King’s College London, University of Minnesota, University at Buffalo, New York University, Nova Southeastern University, Ghent, Universidad de los Andes, and Siena, thereby expanding mobility opportunities for students.
The International Relations Office provides information and administrative support regarding mobility grants and funding programmes (AGAUR, Erasmus, MEC, among others), as well as the documentation required for calls and applications that must be submitted directly by students.
