just Hello

Hello everyone!
I am a new studant (G4) but still at home. I was at the reserve list and the visa process here is very slow, so I'm late.
I would like to ask you how are the first weeks, as I am going to miss it. Please, I read at another topic that said you had to apply for the fourth semester. I didn't understand that, as long as I know you have to choose between Research Project or Professional Practice. I didn't know I had to apply for that too.
and I also like to know how is the visa process to go to UK and France. I asked for an 6 months visa only (to Spain), will I have some problems?
Thanks!!

hi Furlan,
Welcome to our forum.
Answering your questions: you need to apply for the 4th semester because if you choose professional practice it will take place in any European company, and this placement you need to find yourself. It is very much the same as apply for job and gives you valuable experience for the future. Of course, if somebody has troubbles finding placement in the company, course coordinators can suggest something.
In fact, your visa situation depends on your nationality. But for most of the non-europeans it is necessary to apply visa each time to move to another uni. You simply will not be able to register without a proper students visa for 6 months. Although with your Spanish visa you can travel throughout Europe (Schengen country only) as a tourist. Hungary and UK are not in Schengen, while Germany, Spain and France are.
