International Programms and Students

A number of University networks are using the ERASMUS programme as a basis to develop enhanced forms of student exchange.

Apart from that, UA is also part of CAMPUS EUROPAE. This initiative has brought together 18 universities from around Europe to create a two-year exchange programme with strong links to regional business communities, reinforced langauge training and advances in academic recognition issues.

Another such network is the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU), which, among its many activities, is developing opportunities for study combined with internships in local and regional business and industry and 1st degree twinning programmes.

The University of Aveiro welcomes applications from foreign students who are already registered at a Higher Education Institution outside Portugal and who wish to take some course units / modules from our wide range of undergraduate programmes. A typical study period lasts between 3 and 9 months.

    1. Dear Maggie,

      If you are looking for a Master at Aveiro University, not that “the University of Aveiro offers a very limited number of scholarships for postgraduate study and research. International students are eligible to apply. Further information can be obtained through Research Institute of the University of Aveiro.”

      So we are sorry to announce you, but the scholarships are primarily for postgraduate students.

      Good luck with the further search.

  2. update: apparently even in Portugal not all types of Absinthe are aewllod, the maximum aewllod alcohol percentage is 57b0. Absinthe exists with alcohol percentages going up to 90b0 and it can be as old as 30 years! These bottles are very rare of course, but they exist.
