Always, under the protection of the Statutes of the University of Murcia.

You may be a Guest Student:

  • If you are pursuing university studies at another national or foreign institution and wish to take subjects taught at our institution, even if you do not belong to a mobility program or there is no agreement with your home institution.
  • If you are not currently studying at a university, but you have access to UMU.
  • If you have already obtained a university degree at another university and wish to return to the lecture halls to take complementary training.

The registration will be made at the secretary's office of the corresponding Center, within the ordinary deadlines approved in the registration rules for each academic year.

Up to half of the credits of a Bachelor's Degree may be passed.

In case of later access to the corresponding degree at the University of Murcia, the credits passed as a Guest Student will have full academic effects in the official transcript.
