- ✔ Your faculty or school.
- ✔ The languages you speak fluently.
- ✔ Your period of participation (first semester).
C. Contact with your Buddy
Once the match is made, both you and your Buddy will receive an email containing the following information:

- ✔ Nationality
From that moment on, you will be responsible for contacting your Buddy to begin your participation in the programme
Note: Keep in mind that assignments are not made in order of registration but based on compatibility with local students.
D. Programme Participation Period
During the official semester of participation in the Buddy Programme, the relationship between international and local students is supported and supervised by the University of Málaga. Throughout this period, both students are required to complete a series of mandatory tasks.
Once the semester has ended, students are free to continue their relationship independently if they wish. However, from that point onwards, it will no longer be monitored or formally supported within the framework of the Buddy Programme.
