| Periods for each Univeristy/City | Most LCs do accept students on summer months (July, August, September), some of them (it varies depending on the year, mostly Alcala-Madrid, Santiago, Zaragoza, Valladolid, Madrid-Complutense and Madrid- Autonoma) also during the rest of the year.
It is possible you will get accepted in a city you did not apply for since we do not guarantee any of the cities you have chosen (due to lodging/hospital/university/etc problems). We try our best to place you matching your preferences but this does not always happen. This applies as well for the contracts signed for non-summer months: we cannot guarantee that the student is placed on the desired month if there is no lodging/tutors available for that month. Keep also in mind that a project being available in some dates doesn't mean that there is always lodging available; and that not everybody can go to the same project. |
