For courses taught in Spanish, non-native-speaking students are required to submit a B2 certificate of proficiency 
in Spanish as a minimum (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). For Finance and 
Economics courses, the minimum level required is C1.
For courses taught in English, non-native English-speaking students are required to submit a B2 certificate of 
proficiency in English. For U.S.E. students this requirement is waived due to the fact that their entire programme is in English, they can obtain a letter signed by the IEO stating this.

Be aware that there is a limited amount of English courses. We recommend that you obtain a Spanish certificate either way. 

In both cases, the certificate should not overpass two years from the date of issue.

Students can hand in the following documents at the time of their Utrecht University Study Abroad application:

• Language certificate from a recognised language school
• Letter by (high school) Spanish teacher attesting your Spanish level

The exchange student visa is mandatory for all incoming students. In order to begin this process, the International Relations Office at Universidad del Pacífico will request important documentation detailed at the application web site and send it to The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Peru. Once the visa is approved, students will receive a confirmation e-mail. The visa approval process usually takes between 2 to 6 weeks.

Please consider that the visa issuance process is carried out by The Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not by Universidad del Pacifíco. Moreover, the timing for the visa application process does not include tourism activities or others prior to the beginning of the semester. For this reason, we ask you to not engage in other types of traveling prior to getting their visas approved.
