The Buddy Program<\/strong> is an initiative of the Service of International Relations and Cooperation at the Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University of Elche (UMH) whose goal is to foster social and academic integration of exchange students at our university.<\/p>\n The program involves mentoring exchange students who are going to be studying at the UMH in the upcoming school year. As a Buddy, you guide your international partner through their first steps, helping them settle in and adjust to life at the UMH with ease.<\/p>\n In return, UMH students get the opportunity to meet people from other countries, experience new cultures and languages, enrich their university experience, and earn additional points for future Erasmus and Destino program applications.<\/p>\n UMH students who wish to become Buddies and incoming exchange students who wish to request one must complete the following registration form:<\/p>\n Through this form:<\/p>\n Once applications are received, the Service of International Relations matches the applicants and provides both parties with each other’s contact information.<\/p>\n To request your Buddy Certificate, simply send an email and the Service of International Relations and Cooperation will tell you what steps to take.<\/p>\n Write us an email to programa.buddy@umh.es<\/a> or contact us on our social media:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/internacional.umh.es\/files\/2026\/01\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-01-20-at-12.43.39.jpeg\")
