Important Considerations
Before applying, it is important to read the Important Documents above and confirm eligibility for this application period:
- Students enrolled in the 2nd study cycle (Masters);
- Students in a transitional situation (continuity regime) who have obtained a minimum of 30 ECTS (2nd Cycle) between completed UCs and active enrolments, even if they are still attending 1st Cycle UCs.
- Minimum average of 12,5 points, weighted by the number of units completed until the end of the application period
The selection process for mobility will be based on the following criteria, in order of priority:
- Highest average of all course units already completed, weighted by ECTS and calculated to hundredths;
- Highest number of ECTS credits and course units already completed;
- Smaller ratio between the number of annual enrolments and the number of ECTS credits already completed.
It is the student’s responsibility to prepare the study plan according to the host university’s offer (with a minimum of 30 ECTS in the case of Mobility within Europe); it is also the student’s responsibility to carry out some research on the host university’s website regarding the course units available, the language in which they are taught, the possible need for a specific language certificate and the university’s accommodation offer.
Only one application per student will be considered and validated, so it is essential to seal the application when you are sure everything conforms. This application, however, may have several options chosen by the student in order of preference, the student being able to select up to ten schools in order of priority (maximum of options). Students must select only the course to which they belong in all the options they place in the application under penalty of annulment of their application if they fail to do so.
The data collected within the application to an international study mobility programme will be processed exclusively for this purpose.
The existing vacancies are limited to the offer available at the moment, and there is no possibility of opening additional vacancies.
