DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED BEFORE STARTING THE PROGRAMME

02 DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED BEFORE STARTING THE PROGRAMME The Registrar’s Office manages all documentation given to EAE by the students to complete their academic transcript. To academic transcript and opt for the double degree programme it is essential that: Before you start the programme you must update your profile in e-secretaria with the next documents: A. DNI or PASAPORTE B. PHOTOGRAPH: passport size or in JPEG format C. CV: 3 files in digital format with the following: Two photographs to be given to the Secretary in the first ten days of the course as well as the following original documents and two certified copies:

2.1. STUDENTS WITH A QUALIFICATION FROM AN EU UNIVERSITY • Original qualification certificate and a sworn translation into Spanish (if the certificate is in a language other than Spanish). • Original college transcript and a sworn translation into Spanish (if the certificate is in a language other than Spanish).

2.2. STUDENTS WITH A QUALIFICATION FROM A FOREIGN UNIVERSITY • Original qualification certificate and a sworn translation into Spanish (if the certificate is in a language other than Spanish).

B.1. STUDENTS WITH A QUALIFICATION FROM AN EU UNIVERSITY • Original qualification certificate and a sworn translation into Spanish (if the certificate is in a language other than Spanish). • Original college transcript and a sworn translation into Spanish (if the certificate is in a language other than Spanish). In the case of university studies carried out in countries of the EU or countries that are part of the EEA, it is not necessary to legalise the certificate but it is necessary to translate the certificate if it is in another language other than Spanish, as per article 36.1 of Law 30/1992 of the 26th November, from the legal regime of public administration and of the common administrative procedure.

Since the majority of our programmes have a double degree, it is essential that the qualifications obtained outside of Spain, from whatever university or institution, are legalised before being presented to EAE. During the first month of lectures the student must present the original documents of their university qualification and transcript at the Programs’ Liaison Department of EAE. The deadline for handing these in is three months after starting the programme. The certificates or the copies of the Non Spanish University Qualifications presented to EAE must be legalised by the Spanish embassy or consulate in the country of issue. The legalisation of academic documents depends on whether the country of issue is part of the Hague Convention, the Andres Bello Agreement, the European Union Council or it must be done through the Spanish diplomatic office in that country.

Who can perform a sworn translation: • A sworn translator (known as a “traductor jurado”), authorised or registered in Spain. You can access a list of practising sworn translators on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: http://www.mae.es/es/MenuPpal/Ministerio/ Tablon+de+anuncios/Intérpretes+Jurados.htm

Countries in which the directives of the European Union Council are applied when it comes to recognition of qualifications • France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, UK, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, Portugal, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

• Any diplomatic office or consulate of Spain abroad.

• From the 1st of May 2004, also: Cyprus, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Malta, Poland and Czech Republic.

• The diplomatic office or consulate of Spain of the country where you studies. B.2.STUDENTS WITH A QUALIFICATION FROM OTHER COUNTRIES

• Original college transcript and a sworn translation into Spanish (if the certificate is in a language other than Spanish).

• Original qualification certificate (or certified copy).

For those students with university qualifications obtained from a non-EU university it is necessary to provide documentation that proves its legalisation by one of the following methods:

In the case where your university studies have been carried out in a non-EU university, you need to provide documentation that proves its legalisation by one of the following methods:

1. The Spanish embassy or consulate in the country where the university is situated.

2. The Hague Apostille.

3. The Andres Bello Agreement.

• Original college transcript (or certified copy).

Legalisation is the authentication of a document by the relevant authorities in the country of origin of the document and it is necessary for both the validation of university studies and the official recognition of qualifications.

STUDENTS GUIDE

• Also Switzerland, by bilateral agreement with the EU.

Legalisation is not required for documents issued in these countries. Legalisation in countries part of the Hague Convention The Hague Apostille is a note (in the form of a seal) added to the foot or margin of a document to validate it to be used in countries that have signed the convention (and vice versa). The apostille is necessary, for example, for procedures to do with citizenship, university qualifications etc. The following countries have signed the Hague Convention: Germany, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Botswana, BruneiDarussalam, Bulgaria, China (only the regions of Macao and Hong Kong) , Cyprus, Columbia, Croatia, Dominica, El Salvador, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, USA, Estonia, Russian Federation, Fiji, Finland, France, Greece, Grenada, Hungary, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Israel, Italy , Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lesotho, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malawi, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Namibia, Niue, Norway, New Zealand, Holland, Panama, Portugal, United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Czech Republic, Romania, Samoa, St. Kitts and Nevis, San Marino, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Surinam, Swazi, Tonga, Trinidad and

Tobago, Turkey, Venezuela, Yugoslavia. This step must be carried out in the country of origin of the candidate or participant of the programme. Diplomatic legalisation (in countries not part of the Hague Convention) In the case of countries not part of The Hague Convention or any other agreement, the documents must be legalised diplomatically, meaning: 1. Recognition by the Ministry of Education of the country of origin (Ministry stamp) of the signatures in the original document when it is a document accrediting studies carried out (qualifications and certificates of studies). Recognition by the authorities of the corresponding department of the country of origin of the signatures in the original document when it is a document accrediting any other circumstance (e.g.birth certificates, proof of citizenship). 2. Legalisation of this recognition in the country of issue by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country of origin (Ministry stamp). 3. Recognition of the signature of this aforementioned legalisation by a Spanish diplomatic office in the country of origin (Embassies and Consulates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). All documents issued by foreign consulates in Spain should be legalised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Countries part of the Andres Bello Agreement: The countries that are part of this agreement are Bolivia, Columbia, Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, Spain, Panama, Peru and Venezuela. The documents must be legalised diplomatically (the process eliminates the last step in ordinary legalisation). (When the country is also part of The Hague Convention, the method established by The Hague can be used as it is easier). You must present yourself to the following places in this order: 1. The Ministry of Education in the country of origin for qualifications and study certificates. 2. Corresponding ministry for birth certificates and proof of citizenship documents, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where these documents were issued. 3. Diplomatic office or consulate of Spain in this country.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS OF EAE

04 RESPONSIBILITIES OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS OF EAE All students, whether national or international, must respect EAE rules. On the first day of lectures, the programme director will provide you with the academic rules as well as the rules governing coexistence. The student must respect these rules in order to follow the programme in a suitable manner.

STUDENTS GUIDE

4.1 ATTENDANCE

4.2 RESPECT

All lectures given at EAE require attendance therefore the students must sign an attendance sheet found in the lecture rooms. The sheet will be collected over the course of the lecture and the students cannot protest the absence of their signature once it has been collected. The lecturer of the module or any other person delegated by the Academic Director can distribute a list during any lecture, to cross check the signatures with those present at the lecture.

Out of respect for the lecturer and the other students, it is necessary to be punctual and to respect the predetermined timetable for each module. The exams, reports and cases. The students, both national and international, must keep themselves informed regarding the dates on which they need to present any reports, exams, exhibits etc. (among others) corresponding to the programme or the modules they are taking.

If a student has signed the attendance sheet but is not present at the time the list is distributed in a lecture, it is considered to be a minor infraction. Habitual reoccurrence by the student will result in a serious infraction, meaning the student will not be entitled to be assessed for that module. In the case of forging your own signature or somebody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the responsibility lies with the student who forged the signature.

4.3 ONLINE EAE CAMPUS On the first day of lectures the Programsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Liaison Department will provide the student with the access information for the Online EAE Campus. The student must consult this platform daily since the updated information of their programme and of the institution can be found published here. The Online EAE Campus will be a means of communication for the different activities of EAE.

The Metro is, without a doubt, the quickest way to go anywhere in the city. To avoid making mistakes and taking unnecessary detours, it is best to pick up a railway map (free at the ticket windows). The Metro runs from 6 am to 1,30 am every day of the week. The bus is an ideal way to discover the city. However you should know that traffic jams are frequent in Madrid especially during peak hours. The timetable varies depending on the line number but in general it is from 6 am or 7 am to 11pm or 12 pm. After this time, the service is replaced by a half-hourly service that leaves from Plaza Cibeles. For some reason these buses are called “buhos”. In Madrid the metro and bus system operate in conjunction with each other and the tickets you buy (single way, 10-trip ticket, monthly ticket) are valid for both.

STUDENTS GUIDE

Getting around on a bike Unfortunately Madrid is not the best city for cycling around. The traffic is quite bad even when driving so it would be much worse on a bike. It may seem far-fetched but the only day you should consider cycling in Madrid is on Sunday or on holidays when the city is deserted. But going to the mountains is a different story. You can take a commuter train with your bike, hop off and start cycling.

Madrid, the capital of Spain since 1562, is also the geographical centre of the Iberian Peninsula. As you would expect, it is an enormous city. Perhaps the most surprising aspect is the old town, which was built in the era when the Habsburgo dynasty reigned over Spain and therefore it is known as “Madrid de los Austrias”. It would be impossible to get bored of Madrid’s culture given its richness and variety. Not a day goes by that there isn’t some concert, play, recital or exhibition on offer.

5.7 CULTURE IN MADRID

Madrid, just like most European capital cities, is expensive. For example, for a student to live in this city, it costs approximately 700 to 850 EUR per month. This would cover accommodation and food, depending on the type of accommodation you want. Maybe the biggest advantage to living in Madrid is the wide range of possibilities, which means it is still possible to eat, go out etc. relatively cheaply. Here is a list of products and their prices. MADRID - APPROXIMATE PRICES Newspaper 1,20€ Metro / bus ticket 1,20€ Cinema ticket 6,00€ Beer in a bar 1,40€ Set meal of the day 10 € Load of bread 0,60-1,15€

Madrid is also known for being an exceptionally lively city; its bustling nightlife (with pubs, cafétheatres and discos open late at night) has made it famous for many years now. The best way to stay up-to-date on cultural events is the “Guía del Ocio”, a weekly publication listing all of the cultural activities of the week as well as information about the museums, shops, restaurants etc. MUSEUMS For art lovers, Madrid offers endless possibilities. Its museums and galleries house all types of artistic trends, from classic pieces to more modern and transgressive art. Most museums in Madrid offer student rates to those who present their Student Card. Here is a list of contact information for the museums. More information about each one can be found online:

• Jardín Botánico (metro Atocha) These botanical gardens were created in 1744 on the initiative of Carlos III, who is often referred to as “the best mayor of Madrid”. With a neo-classical design, the garden contains more than 30,000 plant species from all over the world. • Parque del Oeste (metros Moncloa y Argüelles) Some believe this is the best landscaped garden in the city. It is certainly the ideal park for taking a stroll. The Casa de Campo cable car leaves from here. Designed at the beginning of the 20th century, the park is arranged based on the British or naturist garden system, with large green areas, and trees and paths that adapt to the lie of the land. In the lower part, you will find La Rosaleda where an international rose contest is held every year in the months of May and June.

OTHER PLACES OF INTEREST

PARKS AND GARDENS Madrid boasts large expanses of green areas: a total of 33 million square metres divided among 43 city parks. Here is information about some in which you can escape the noise of the city and enjoy nature. • Parque del Buen Retiro (metros Retiro e Ibiza) The Parque del Retiro is the ideal place to stroll in Madrid, to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours. Every Sunday, crowds of both locals and tourists become impromptu spectators of all sorts of shows (street theatre and puppet shows, singer-songwriter concerts, dance shows, juggling and mime shows). Retiro is without a doubt the most important historical park in the city. This huge park is also home to one of the most significant cultural events of Madrid: the book fair, which is held every year in June.

• Campo del Moro y Jardines de Sabatini (metro Príncipe Pío) The Campo del Moro has had the same name since 1140 when the Aben-Jucef army camped on the hillside to besiege and attack the fortress Viejo Alcázar. Later Felipe II bought the land and converted it into the beautiful park it is today. These days, the Campo del Moro is the Royal Palace gardens, along with the Sabatini Gardens. There are two monumental fountains: Los Tritones and Las Conchas. The Jardines de Sabatini were created by the Italian himself in the place where the stables of the Royal Palace were in olden times.

STUDENTS GUIDE

CINEMA There are endless options when it comes to cinema in Madrid. Many of the theatres are found on Gran Vía, where you will also come across some of the oldest cinema theatres in Madrid as well as on Calle Fuencarral. These theatres screen movies of all genres: commercial, Spanish, original language, classis and even 3D. On the other hand, it is also good to know that there is a “Día del Espectador” (discount day), which means that one day the tickets will be sold at a reduced price. It is usually on Wednesdays although this can vary from one cinema to the other. Often the first showing will also be at a reduced rate for young people, as long as they can present their student card. In any case, the best way to stay informed about what movies are screening and the relevant discounts is to consult the entertainment section of the newspapers or in the Leisure Guide. Apart from the traditional cinemas, which can be found all over the city, we think it is worth mentioning Filmoteca, Kinépolis and Imax cinemas as well.

Many of these concerts take place in cafes, or in pubs, and therefore the entrance is included in the price of a drink. In the case of larger concerts, tickets can be bought from FNAC or in branches of the music chain Madrid Rock..

5.8 NIGHT LIFE

BULLFIGHTING Although it is a controversial topic in many countries, bullfighting is very popular in Madrid. The Plaza de Toros Monumental de Las Ventas bullring plays a leading role in bullfighting season, which coincides with the San Isidro Fair (during the whole month of May). Both critics and supporters should make an effort to go to the Las Ventas bullring to bear witness to one of the best Spanish traditions. The bullring itself, built in 1934, deserves a special mention. With its Neo-Mudéjar style, Las Ventas has always been closely linked to the birth of modern bullfighting. It has also become a symbol of the city and in 1994 it was declared a Heritage of Cultural Interest with the category of Artistic and Historical Monument.

The night life is somewhat nomadic in nature; people tend to go from one place to another, and never stay in the one bar all night. Another distinctive aspect of night life in Madrid is that the places stay open till the early hours of the morning, which is sure to surprise some people.

MADRID HOLI DAYS San Isidro On the 15th of May the city celebrates its patron saint, San Isidro. He is praised by many people from Madrid for his simplicity and humbleness as well as his kindness and tolerance. It is without a doubt the liveliest holiday in the city. To celebrate it the people go in procession to drink the miraculous water of the hermitage and take part in a large festival, with food and drink stands. For this holiday a multitude of cultural events are organised, from recitals and concerts to exhibitions and, of course, bullfighting. Virgen de la Almudena Almudena is the patron saint of people from Madrid. Her image appeared on a tower of the Arab city wall of La Vega, where she probably hidden by the Christians. On the 9th of November 1083, a battle took place in which Alfonso VI defeated the Muslims. This victory by the Christians over the Muslims is attributed to Almudena, hence her feast day is celebrated on the 9th of November.

Perhaps the best thing about Madrid is that it is able to satisfy all tastes. The Madrid night life (“La Movida Madrileña) is no exception.

The night life in this city – also known as the European Capital of the Night – is divided into zones. Most of the premises are bars or pubs and entrance is free. The busiest zones are: ALONSO MARTÍNEZ Y BILBAO - Lots of bustling tapas bars, breweries, pubs and cafes. The liveliest areas are streets Campoamor, Fernando VI, Santa Teresa and Barquillo. Bilbao, on the outskirts of Fuencarral and San Vicente Ferrer, there are several places with live performances such as the famous Pachá disco. SANTA ANA Y HUERTAS - From Puerta del Sol to Plaza de Santa Ana, passing through Calle Huertas, you will find the liveliest zone. It is an area frequented by tourists and students and is considered one of the most emblematic points of Madrid nightlife. ARGÜELLES, MONCLOA, CIUDAD UNIVERSITARIA - In this area you will find a multitude of places to eat, dance and have a chat. OTHER AREAS - Santiago Bernabéu zone - Malasaña zone (more alternative) - Chueca zone (all types of establishments)

Virgen de la Paloma On the 15th of August, the Virgen de la Paloma is celebrated, which is one of the most authentic holidays in Madrid. During the festivities the people, dressed in “castizos” (19th century costumes), dance the “chotis” (typical dance of Madrid) accompanied by traditional barrel organs. Although Paloma is not an official patron saint of the city, the people hold her very close to their hearts. 34

ACCOMMODATION IN MADRID

06 ACCOMMODATION EAE does not own any apartments or residences and does not get involved nor does it commit to finding accommodation for its students. The school will provide the students with any information they need but will not be held responsible for any problems arising from the same. In Madrid, it is very common to rent a room in a shared apartment. The price of a room is usually about 350 to 400 EUR per person (depending on whether expenses are included or not). The apartments are normally fully furnished. We suggest three options for finding accommodation in Madrid: 1. Look for accommodation in student residence. There are several student residences in Madrid where you can find an individual or shared room. Depending on the residence, it can have a separate or communal toilet, kitchen and sitting room as well as other additional services. The prices depend on these criteria. 2. Look online or with rental agencies. There are many agencies online that offer accommodation services: they will help you to find a room or put you in contact with property owners.

Procedure EU Students: EU students must request the E-128 form in the Social Welfare office in their country of origin, which will allow them to be included in the general regime of the Spanish Social Security, with similar entitlements as Spanish citizens. Non-EU Students: Non-EU students must take out a health insurance policy in their country of origin or with a Spanish company on arrival. If the policy has been set up in the country of origin of the student, it must be translated and recorded that the student is covered in the event of illness or an accident.

(registration with the Town Hall). Addresses to some of the Madrid health centres can be found in the last part of this guide. Complete information about the rest of the town offices, opening times and steps carried out in each can also be found on the Madrid Town Hall website (www.munimadrid.es). For information on telephone numbers and addresses o f other health centres, we advise you to call Citizens Information on 010.

SAFETY

08 SAFETY Madrid is considered to be a safe city, where taking a walk through the streets can be extremely pleasant. However, it is very important to read the following recommendations regarding safety since following these simple rules can help you avoid nasty situations. These situations can happen in any big city and the recommendations are not intended to scare you. On arriving in Madrid. • Don’t let your luggage out of your sight at any time; keep it with you and within reach. • Only change the money you require for getting to your accommodation and avoid handling large sums of money in front of other people.

STUDENTS GUIDE

During your stay in Madrid • Be wary of some street vendors selling flowers or other articles, who may try to mislead you and steal from you. • Don’t carry around more money than you need. • Don’t ever put your wallet in the back pocket of your trousers. • If you are in a bar, disco, etc. don’t leave personal items unattended as they can be stolen. • Avoid walking alone on small streets especially at night. We advise you to take a taxi, which is not very expensive in Madrid. If you walk with someone, you are usually pretty safe.

• If you are going to stay at a hotel for a few days and you have items of value, make use of the safe and don’t leave anything of value in the room. If you are travelling by car • If you are travelling with a car, don’t ever leave it with luggage, cameras, CD players etc. on view inside, even if it is just for a short period of time. • Don’t ever leave anything on view inside your parked vehicle. • Don’t leave personal documents inside the car. • Keep the doors locked when driving through the city.

09 LEGAL ASPECTS AND Procedures APPLICATION FOR NON-EU STUDENT RESIDENCE VISA IN THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN To apply for the student visa, the person must go to the Spanish Consulate in the country of origin to find out what documents they need to present and the procedure they must follow.

Requirements: - Original valid passport. - Certificate of enrollment (in our case at EAE). - Medical certificate issued by the official authorities in your home country. - Three passport photos in colour. - Proof of economic resources to cover the entire stay.

Note: The requirements can vary depending on the country in which the process is carried out and on each particular case, therefore it is very important to find out the requirements of the Spanish consulate in your own country. Important: Procedures carried out at Spanish consulates are slow and in many cases the person will have to go to the consulate more than once. We suggest therefore that you find out the requirements and the procedure and if you need to make an appointment you should give yourself plenty of time (at least five months in advance).
