Because we understand the challenges of living in an unfamiliar environment, the CETT-UB Campus offers the International Relations Office (ORI) as a dedicated space to provide guidance, advice, and support to international students enrolled in master’s programs.
The ORI team will offer you relevant information related to the logistics of living in Barcelona, such as registering your residence, applying for a Foreign Identity Number (NIE), or finding accommodation in the city.
Procedures related to your academic stay
The ORI team will provide updated information on the procedures you will need to complete once you arrive in the city. They will guide you through the essential documents such as the Foreign Identity Number (NIE), the municipal register (padrón), and the university ID card..
Languages
If your native language is not Spanish, the ORI team will offer guidance on how and where to learn it. They will also inform you about opportunities to learn Catalan, which will help you integrate into daily life in the city. Additionally, you can improve your Spanish through certified courses offered by the CETT-UB Language Department. On the other hand, if you prefer to practice a foreign language in an informal setting, you can participate for free in our language exchange program between CETT-UB students.
