You will receive this help throughout the whole course and the advisor will help you adapt to our university system and make the most of your experience on the program. > As an IFP student, you will study and live with undergraduates and you will form part of our student community. You will benefit from all our cultural, sports, social and volunteer activities, etc. > Our academic standard is high and every year we feature at the top of global rankings.

2. Once you have completed the application form, send us an essay setting out the reasons why you want to take this program. 3. Personal interview with the International Admission Service delegate in your home country. 4. Evaluation of your level of Spanish via an online test. This will help us indicate your access level to the program depending on your fluency in the language.
Once admitted to the degree program, the student –pursuant to RD 1393/07- may transfer up to 36 ECTS for subjects taken during the IFP. IFP students who want to return to their country to continue their studies, may also transfer some of the credits.

> The credits for some of the subjects studied in the IFP can be transferred to your degree or bachelor studies, if you decide to continue at the University of Navarra, or if you want to go back to your country.
The structure of the modules adapts to the level of Spanish of the students entering the program. According to the level of Spanish, students will be able to choose more or less credits for each module: Lingüistic and Culture and Specific Content Module.

I can say with a lot of confidence that doing the IFP program was a meaningful experience. By stepping outside of my comfort zone, I have discovered many things about myself that I probably would never have outside these circumstances. The people have also been very accommodating and understanding about any issues that I may have.
