Student Mobility

MOBILITY PROCESS PROPOSAL

After you have been accepted by the person in charge at UÉ and the host institution where you will carry out the mobility accepts your nomination, you must submit the proposal for the mobility process to the SIIUE , under your student profile.

LEARNING AGREEMENT

In the case of mobility for studies, you must fill in the Learning Agreement , indicating the start and end date of the mobility period, as well as the curricular units/subjects you will take at the host institution and the equivalent curricular units/subjects at the University of Évora in the course in which you are enrolled.

You should go to the website of the host institution to research the curricular units/subjects you would like to attend and obtain the respective syllabus, so that, together with the Course Director, you can see if the University of Évora has equivalent curricular units/subjects.

The learning agreement must include no more than 72 ECTS credits/academic year, no more than 36 ECTS credits per semester, and at least 18 ECTS credits per semester.

Students on outbound mobility programmes are automatically registered at UÉ for the curricular units listed in the approved Learning Agreement . If students have registered for the semester(s) during which mobility will take place, these registrations will be cancelled and students will not be able to change them or register online for other curricular units during the mobility period.

However, upon request and within the time frames set for the registrations, students may register for ongoing curricular units at UÉ during the mobility period up to no more than 36 ETCS credits/semester, which are the maximum ECTS credits allowed every year for other students (this limitation includes the ECTS credits listed in the learning agreement ). Finalist students may register for up to 42 ECTS credits /semester, subject to payment of the extra ECTS credits.

Outgoing students can register for the special exam period for the curricular units in which they were registered in the normal exam period, provided the required conditions are met.

TRAINING AGREEMENT

With regard to training mobility, after obtaining the Declaration of Acceptance from the company where the internship will take place the Training Agreement must be filled in with the start and end date of the mobility period, the identification of the company and the work plan.

Study or training mobility may not begin without all the parties (host institution, University of Évora and the student) signing the Mobility Agreement and the Learning Agreement or Training Agreement. Original copies of the documents do not need to circulate around for signatures; scanned and electronic signatures are accepted.

ERASMUS+ online LINGUISTIC SUPPORT (OLS)

To encourage the acquisition of linguistic skills and face up to the difficulties that this can bring, the European Commission offers online linguistic support service, the OLS – Online Linguistic Support.

The Online Linguistic Support comprises:

  1. Initial Assessment Test (Test 1) to assess the student’s language competences – before the start of the mobility period
  2. Language Course – during the mobility period
  3. Final Assessment Test (Test 2) to assess the student’s language competence at the end of the mobility period

The OLS test is free of charge for participating students, but the assessment thereof is compulsory and must be done in two distinct periods: before the start of mobility and at the end of the mobility period.

ERASMUS STUDENT NETWORK ÉVORA (ESN ÉVORA)

ESN Évora  is part of the International Exchange Erasmus Student Network (ESN), the largest non-profit student association in Europe whose main purpose is to provide information to mobility students and help then adapt and be integrated in the country and community in which they live.

 ACCOMMODATION

Students are responsible for arranging their own accommodation and should, therefore, plan ahead before travelling. Contact your host institution for information on accommodation options. 

Speak with fellow students who have already participated in a mobility programme in the respective country/city. Some private companies in a number of European cities offer accommodation.  Visit credible and reliable websites to learn about your rights and duties regarding accommodation. Always seek advice from the host institution’s Mobility or International Relations Office.
