The Erasmus or Bilateral exchanges are. In both cases half an institutional agreement between universities but are under the Erasmus program of the same name from the European Commission and therefore subject to certain formalities. The bilateral agreements are private. The fundamental difference for students is economic: the European Commission granted a scholarship Erasmus of usually 200-250 € per month on average, but the payment is made in two payments, once the student is already in your destination.

UFV has an agreement with Bancaja for students both Erasmus and bilateral.
If you are already studying at UFV Scholarship (total or partial) it remains. But you can try to apply for a grant from other agencies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (http://www.becasmae.com/ ).

Obviously study abroad is for the student and / or his family important extra effort. A UFV enrollment must add the cost of travel, accommodation and meals. To this we must add the health insurance (if you do not have the the Social Security EHIC) and accidents (The cheapest we have found is the Office of Community of Madrid Youth Tourism (TIVE) )and the money to be advanced usually to rent a room in a shared flat (usually two month and a deposit). The total amount varies greatly from country to country. In Poland it is possible to live well 500 € / month while living in London you need a minimum of 1200 € / month, taking into account a student life, austere and no extras.
Some college, for example in Canada, may require the medical and accident insurance is contracted with local policies.

Students go abroad with a research contract or ‘opinion’ signed by the director of his career, the director of International Relations and the student himself, which is detailed in each subject should be taken at the host university and Why is validated. As the opinion is personalized for each student and provided for a variety of cases not always revalidated subject by subject, but is given a list of subjects of the foreign university from which the student can choose. Other times it will validate blocks of subjects. It also details the subjects that can not be validated in any case and consideration of which must be presented at the UFV.

The course suspended or equivalent credits at UFV will be suspended and therefore must enroll in the following course as a subject in 2nd call. This subject can not be present at the September session in Madrid, be recovered in the university.
