Barcelona · SpainThe Barcelona groups for 2027-2028 are not open yet
There is no verified Barcelona group for the 2027-2028 academic year yet. Each cycle's groups usually open between May and July of the preceding year, once places are confirmed. We only publish a group once its invite link genuinely works, so this page will update as soon as a Barcelona group is confirmed.
In the meantime, here is what we do know about Barcelona:
Erasmus in Barcelona: what to know first
Gaudi, beach, mountains and endless culture. One of the most in-demand Erasmus destinations in the world.
The Barcelona groups for the 2027-2028 academic year are not run by any institution: they are opened by students arriving that same year, usually between the spring and summer before. They fill in waves — first the people with a confirmed place, then the ones locking down housing — which is why a group created too early often stalls half empty.
You do not need to join all of them. Start with the one that solves your most urgent problem in Barcelona, and add the rest once you have an arrival date.
In Barcelona housing is the real bottleneck, so the accommodation group is the one to check before any other.

Universities in Barcelona
If you are looking for people from your own faculty, these are the verified institutions we have on record in Barcelona. Plenty of groups organise by university as well as by city.
Before you join a Barcelona group
Erasmus groups are also hunting ground for rental scams, especially in Barcelona when demand spikes. Three rules head off almost every problem:
- 01Never pay a deposit or a holding fee for a room you have not seen, contract or no contract: it is the most common scam and the most expensive.
- 02Be wary of anyone who pulls you out of the group into a private chat to close the deal fast and under pressure.
- 03A price far below the city reference is almost never a bargain; it is the bait.
