What can we do for you
IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!
The Universities in the well-established IMIM Consortium are committed to offer, both local and international students, the best, friendly, efficient and quick support, throughout your student’s journey. Each University has a dedicated IMIM coordinator, Programme Director and service specific Offices who are there for you! At each University, Offices will differ, but the coordinators will guide you where to.
Visas
IMIM will help with applying to the programme, visa applications, and assistance in obtaining residence permit.
It is recommended that you start the visa process at least 3 months before you move to Spain to ensure that you receive it on time. You can begin the process by going directly to the relevant Embassy in your home country or your place of residence. Also, we strongly recommend that you reserve your place in the IMIM as soon as possible; once you do so, we will send you an official welcome email with further instructions.

Health
In order to study at IMIM, all students are required to have complete health insurance that covers any illness or accident that may occur during the program. This coverage can be ensured through (1) the Spanish social security system (only for Spanish citizens), (2) the European Health Card (only for eligible EU citizens who reside in Europe), or (3) a private medical insurance that covers them during the whole program (for all other students). It is essential that students have insurance for their own safety.
