The Support Programme for the Exchange Students (PAPI) of the University of Malaga is a programme where Spanish UMA students (PAPI students) guide and support international students who choose as their destination our university. It is similar to the Buddy Programmes or Meet a Mate Programmes that other universities organize.

PAPI

(73)

What does this programme offer?

Within PAPI´s framework various activities are going to be developed to favour the integration of exchange students and, at the same time, the internationalization and multilingualism of UMA students, through the combining of both groups.

International Students will be paired with a Spanish UMA student who will help them with their enrolment at the university and with their integration into Spanish culture.

PAPI

(74)

The activities that are included in this programme are organized in three sections:

Welcoming and orientation

Cultural and social integration

Language exchange (language tandem)

PAPI

(75)

How do I request a PAPI student?

It is actually very easy, you only have to access the Online Request Form for a PAPI Student. Be sure to click at the end on the button that says "Enviar". That will send us your form. We will contact you by email to confirm reception and give you more information about the programme and your future PAPI Student.
