1. What do students need to take?

Clothes and sports shoes, warm clothes, raincoat (weather changes easily) and some pocket money for personal expenses. Passport-size photos.

2. What kind of insurance do students need to take out?

We strongly recommend students take out medical insurance (EC countries - the European Health Card) and travel insurance (this is optional, but is obligatory for those under 18 years old).

3. Recommendations

If the minor has his/her own passport, he/she does not need parental permission. If the minor does not have his/her own passport, he/she will need parental authorisation, which is processed at the National Police Commissary.

One of the parents must accompany the minor with both their current ID cards and ***Family book (Ya no se requiere Libro de Familia.

We recommend students do not take any valuable items to thus avoid loss. The electric plugs in the United Kingdom are different from those in Spain, so electrical appliances will not work without an adaptor. A medical report is needed if you are suffering from any king of chronic illness.

Students who are minors are not allowed to go out without any supervision, it is better they go in groups of a minimum of 3. NEVER thumb a lift.

4. Before returning to Spain, remember to check the following:

That your room is left tidy and you haven’t left any items behind. You have all your luggage and documentation. You have your Diploma.
