Students interested in a period of mobility abroad must remember that there are specific rules for mobility in the context of studies or internships. Calls for participation in the various Mobility Programmes are published annually.
All mobility processes are managed by the Cooperation and External Relations Unit, to which they can turn for any necessary support or clarification.
Come and meet us and be part of this academic community!
Every academic year, in December (Studies) and February (Internships), notices of pre-applications for the Mobility Programmes (Studies/Internships) for the following year will be published.
These notices will contain all the information on eligibility and pre-application procedures/ deadlines. They will be publicised via the Faculty's online page, social networks and institutional email.
Any pre-application submitted outside the stipulations of the notices will have to be authorised by the Mobility Coordinator at FADEUP and will permanently lose priority in terms of funding (when this is provided for by the programme to which you wish to pre-apply).
Once you have been selected, you will need to formalise your application. To do this, follow the steps below.
Step 1 - Fill in the Application Form
To fill in all the fields of the Application Form, the student must have the following documents/information:
Only with ALL these elements can the student proceed to the appointment at the FADEUP services to fill in the Online Application Form.
The plane ticket is, in fact, one of the most expensive parts of any trip. To minimise this cost, the student should research online and in travel agencies to find the best option and price for the trip.
European Health Card / Private Insurance
The European Health Card is the document that guarantees medical assistance during temporary stays in all the states of the European Union, the European Economic Area and Switzerland. The student must, therefore, ensure that he/she has this document and that it is valid throughout the mobility period. The student must request it from the Social Security/ADSE services.
In countries where the EHIC is not valid, or if the student wishes to secure private medical assistance in case of need, they should take out private health insurance. Please note that this insurance is compulsory for some destinations/countries outside the European Union.
Travelling
The plane ticket is one of the most expensive parts of the whole journey. To minimise this cost, the student should research online and in travel agencies to find the best option and price for the trip.
Accommodation
If the host university does not provide accommodation for the student during the study period, the student will have to find a place to live on arrival. In this case, we recommend that, at the outset, the student secure accommodation in a hotel/guesthouse/hostel for the first few days until they find permanent accommodation.
This is the general information on the procedures the student should carry out in preparation for their mobility.
However, before departure, the services will hold a clarification session where students can ask questions.
Inscrição na FADEUP /Pagamento das Propinas na FADEUP
The students are responsible for enrolling at FADEUP and paying the relevant fees/insurance. To do this, contact the FADEUP's Academic Services before departing to ensure everything is in order.
1st - Registration at the Host Institution
You should go to the mobility office at the host institution or to the person responsible for mobility in order to register and find out about all the necessary procedures;
2nd - Completion / Submission of the Statement Period of Studies
The "Statement Period of Studies" is a document that certifies the date of arrival / departure at the Host Institution. This document, duly completed and signed, should be sent by email to [email protected]
The original document must be kept so that it can be signed on your return to FADEUP and handed in to the International Relations Service of the Rectorate of the University of Porto (SRI-REIT).
Without this original document, the mobility will not be finalised, and academic recognition will not be granted. This document must be printed from each student's computer platform:
3rd - Verification of the Original Study Plan
The student will have to check the compatibility of the previously agreed-upon curricular units in their Original Study Plan with the person responsible for mobility at the Partner University.
To make any changes (if necessary), they will need to send an email to [email protected] informing them of the incompatibility and providing the following data:
You will have 15 days (this period will be counted from the date on the Statement Period of Studies) to make any changes (if necessary).
Changes to the Original Study Plan will not be accepted after the deadline.
4th - Formalisation of Amendments to the Initial Study Contract (if necessary)
Once the changes have been accepted by those responsible for the Mobility Programme at FADEUP, the student will receive the documents to formalise these changes by email.
They must sign them and collect the signature and stamp of the Host University. Afterwards, they should also return them via email to the following address [email protected].
Changes will only be accepted when duly authorised by FADEUP. Changes that the services are unaware of or have not been approved will not be accepted.
Before returning to FADEUP, the student should take the following into account:
