Application process

 

If you are studying at an accredited university and are willing to spend one or more semesters at IBERO Mexico City as an exchange student, we shall be pleased to welcome you. As nominated and accepted student from one of our partner universities, you won’t pay any tuition or application fee. If your institution doesn’t have an exchange agreement with us, we can consider your application as a study abroad student. Study abroad students pay application and tuition fees according to the number of courses they wish to take.

Students from partner universities must begin the process through the international office of their institution. Once selected, the head of that office will nominate the student using a registration link provided by Ibero’s Mobility Office, which will be sent via email.

After the nomination, we will review the application, and if accepted, the student will receive an email with a link to access the platform, where they must upload the following documents:

  • Official academic record/transcript from your home university.
  • A copy of your valid passport (for non-Mexican citizens)
  • A certificate of good health (you can use this form).
  • Photography
