(doc) - Must be filled in on the computer, and all orange marked instructions must be removed. Document formatting must not be in any way changed or stroke through.
When the Learning Agreement - Before the Mobility (LA-BM) is filled in and signed by the student, it must be emailed to the DRI (div.ri.outgoing@fct.unl.pt) for verification, to certify all fields are correctly filled in, before being signed by the Course Coordinator and the Erasmus Departmental Coordinator.
The student must include his student number and mobile phone number in the email.
The LA-BM is only valid after being signed by the Course Coordinator and the Erasmus Departmental Coordinator of the student's course.
Some UA request the completion of the LA-BM through the Online Learning Agreement Platform (OLA). In this case, the student should refer to the tutorial (here) on how to register and fill in the LA-BM in OLA.
The deadline for sending the LA-BM to the DRI will be the same deadline as the UA requires the student to formalize the application. For example, if the UA informs the students that they have until June 1st /November 1st (1st and 2nd semester respectively) to send the requested documents, the students may send the above-mentioned document to the DRI until June 1st /November 1st.
It is the student's responsibility, together with the Course Coordinator and/or Erasmus Departmental Coordinator of the course, to verify the academic recognition by:
Checking the course units available at the UA during the study period;
Draw up the study plan that will include the courses to be enrolled in at the UA (table A of LA-BM) and their respective accreditation at FCT NOVA (table B of LA-BM).
PLEASE NOTE: Application formalisation at the DRI does not exempt the completion and submission of all additional documentation requested by the UA (even if this implies duplicating documentation).
It is the students’ responsibility to refer to the website of the University where they have been placed to verify:
When proof of a minimum level of language is required and students cannot provide official certificates; through ILNOVA-Instituto de Línguas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa it was made possible for FCT students, applying for Erasmus+ next year, to take a “language level assessment test”. The result can be used for students or until the DRI confirms the students’ language skills with the UA.
We remind that not all students will need to take these tests. However, we advise all students to be informed, as early as possible, about the specific language requirements of their destination universities, so that they can have the certification within the required deadlines, if necessary.
Within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, the European Commission has contracted an online support service for participants in long-term mobility activities (i.e., mobilities ongoing for 2 to 12 months). The OLS will comprise the following:
Test 1 to assess the student's language skills (mandatory) - before the mobility begins.
Language course (optional) - at the beginning of the mobility.
Test 2 to assess the student's language skills (mandatory) - at the end of the mobility (two weeks before the end of the mobility).
The assessment tests and the OLS language courses are free of charge.
The students will be emailed the invitation to take the first assessment test. If the first test result is lower than C2 level, the student will take the language course in the same language as the 1st test. If the language level is C2, the student may choose the language in which he wants to take the language course.
The OLS is stipulated in article 6 of the Erasmus Mobility Contract and is mandatory.
Students who require accommodation in the destination country will have to inquire the UA for information.
To have medical assistance abroad, you will need to apply for the CESD (European Health Insurance Card), which is valid for one year, at the Loja do Cidadão or at the Social Security office. For more information about this card, please refer to http://www.seg-social.pt/pedido-cartao-europeu-seguro-doenca
If the mobility is in the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will have to contract a health insurance which will entitle you to medical assistance.
