Mobility - Student Mobility

Cooperation UP

The focus on internationalization is one of the development vectors of the University of Porto, evidenced in the pursuit of numerous international initiatives in accordance with the University's Strategic Development Plan.

The establishment of cooperation protocols with universities around the world, integration into various international inter-university cooperation networks and groups and active participation in a significant number of community teaching, training and research programs have been strategic objectives of the U. PORTO.

The mobility of students, teachers, researchers and non-teaching staff under cooperation agreements and community mobility programs and the involvement in inter-university cooperation projects constitute priority lines of action for U.PORTO that contribute to the positioning of the University as a internationally recognized institution.

Another aspect of U.PORTO's strong internationalization is based on the development of various academic and scientific exchange actions within the scope of existing cooperation agreements with Universities in Portuguese-speaking Countries as well as Latin American Countries.

Cooperation FBAUP

The Faculty of Fine Arts of Porto has been developing, for more than a decade, an extensive and diversified program of partnerships with foreign educational institutions. This program has found expression in curricular activities and exchanges of teaching and student staff, and is currently investing in a map of offers for joint curricular modules, professional internships and research projects.

The international dimension of the aforementioned program is visible in the highly successful participation in the Erasmus Program, which allows around 10% of FBAUP's student population to have the opportunity annually to undertake a period of studies at a similar foreign institution, with full academic recognition of the subjects taken. in mobility. The departure of these students is matched by the arrival of foreign students (an average of 170 students per year), under the same conditions, who actively participate in the school life of FBAUP.

The flow of mobile students is not limited to the European continent. The signing of a set of cooperation protocols between the University of Porto and Latin American countries has allowed the reception of students from countries such as Brazil and Chile on a mobility basis, also constituting a growing mobility opportunity for FBAUP students.

FBAUP currently has institutional partnerships with 64 art schools, in 21 European countries, and the celebration of intercontinental partnerships specific to the fields of Arts and Design is scheduled.
