Mobility and Cooperation Programmes

In the framework of its internationalisation activities, the EEUM encourages its faculty, researchers, non-academic staff and students to participate in several mobility and cooperation programmes. Apart from International Mobility under Erasmus+ programmes, among others, the School also offers graduation and research opportunities related to Interinstitutional Partnerships and several other International Education Programmes, in cooperation with worldwide renowned institutions. Since March 2014, when the International Student Status was formally created, the EEUM also welcomes international students through this new access competition for 1st cycle (bachelor) and integrated master degrees programmes in Portugal. Please refer to the following detailed information.

 

International Mobility

EEUM’s students, researchers, academic and non-academic staff may benefit from several International Mobility opportunities in the framework of several mobility programmes available at UMinho. The participation in mobility projects boosts the internationalisation at the campi by offering an international and multicultural dimension to non-mobile students, through contact with foreign students and teaching staff who choose UMinho as their host institution. The UMinho’s International Relations Services provide all information on IN and OUT mobility opportunities: www.sri.uminho.pt
