Lab Information

The Erasmus Coordinator is: Dr Fernando Molina-Heredia (biovicerelint@us.es)

You will shortly be nominated to Seville University via our bilateral agreement and should hear from the Seville University with further information.  You should now start looking for a suitable lab.  To do this, you should contact Dr Molina-Heredia with your research interests and he will help you to find a suitable lab.  You should send a short CV to Fernando too.  You can look at Seville’s research areas here: http://www.us.es/eng/centres/departments/index.html

Application

You will be issued with application information once you have been nominated to Seville University by the Placement Office.  You must then complete an online application form found here: http://www.internacional.us.es/en/erasmus-internacionales 

Accommodation

Assistance in finding accommodation will be provided by the Erasmus Coordinator in Seville when you apply.

The EHIC card: The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will provide medical insurance for the full period of work abroad providing the student is (a) going to a European country which has a reciprocal health insurance agreement with the United Kingdom and (b) the student is NOT earning a salary whilst out on placement.  In other circumstances, eligibility is dependent upon earnings and National Insurance contributions – if a student is earning a salary it may be necessary, in this instance, to take out private medical insurance to cover the length of the placement even if that placement is European based.  For further information and advice please go to the Department of Health website: www.dh.gov.uk/travellers.

Immigration

Visas: If you are an international student, you will need to apply for a visa.  It is your responsibility to organise a visa if you need one.  Please note that visas to other countries can be very difficult to obtain in the UK for overseas students.  In most cases, it is advisable to contact the Embassy in your own country for the country in which you wish to study.  Normally you should arrange to have the Visa interview in your own country.
 
The only bodies who can give you legal advice about visas to your chosen country is the Embassy of that country and possibly the University abroad – do check their websites for Visa information as these can often be very informative and contain other useful links.
