Applications for SMS (studies) and SMP (internship) mobility are opened by the institutional coordinator and advertised by the International Relations Office, on the UPT website and on the UPT Information Dissemination System.

In a global way, the application deadline for mobilities to be held in the 1st semester, in the 2nd semester or during the whole year runs until end of March;

If there are vacancies, a new application period may be opened for mobilities to be held in the 2nd semester. The deadline for applications is end of October.

You should collect information on mobility in general. See Student Mobility Regulation

Consult the Erasmus+ National Agency portal (Education and Training) at http://www.proalv.pt/erasmusmais/documentacao/acao1.html#

You should also consult the International Relations Office for more detailed information, as for example: estimated values of the grant per destination, financial support given by UPT, contacts of colleagues who have already been mobile.

There may be other determining factors for the choice of destination country and university: quality of the institution, cost of living in that country, possibility of receiving a mobility support grant, professional expectations after the exchange period, etc.

In http://ec.europa.eu/ploteus/ Ploteus page, the student can obtain information on educational systems, living costs, accommodation, etc. They can also carry out a study on the quality of the institutions in the international and/or European rankings. Examples: THES Ranking -Times Higher Education Supplement- http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2012-13/world-ranking/region/europe and Ranking Webometrics – http://www.webometrics.info/en/Europe/Portugal, among others.

The choice is always up to the student so we recommend you to do your homework by searching the websites for information about the partner institutions and, in case you need additional information, you can always consult the information leaflets that the partners send every year to IRO and ask for the contacts of the erasmus  students who have already passed through here.

Under the Erasmus+ programme, mobilities are carried out based on bilateral agreements that are established and validated every academic year. These agreements are signed by the Institutional Coordinator, after being validated by the Departmental Coordinators and the IRO and take into account our courses and scientific research areas and are only intended for students of the course for which the mobility has been pre-established.

You should consult the UPT website to know the universities with which agreements have been signed (List of Agreements with other Universities), and which can therefore be destination universities.

The student can also:

• consult the websites of the partner universities in order to make a calculated choice;
• consult the study plan provided by the destination university in order to verify the compatibility of study programmes between the two institutions and to confirm if the university has a study plan similar to the course under analysis. The choice should focus, among other factors, on the UC’s offered by the destination university;
• seek advice from the Erasmus+ departmental coordinator (EDC);
• access the study plans of the partner universities directly via Internet or search on the partner university’s website through the information available at the faculties and consulting the respective course plans, or on the international relations/mobility website of the partner university;
• know all about the language of instruction at that institution and what can be done to overcome any language barriers that may arise.After trying to get to know them through the website, looking at the study plans you want to attend and discussing your preferences with the departmental coordinators, you have to choose three universities in order of preference

The company can be suggested by the student or found by UPT through the offers received by the international relations office or by the institutional coordinators, department coordinators or teachers. It is also possible to intern at a university.

You have to fill in the application form, available on the website

No. The International Relations Office (IRO) carries out the seriation of the candidates. In case there are more applicants than vacancies for the same university, the selection criteria will be:
