Documentation to be sent to NOVA FCT
Learning Agreement
- Must be filled out on the MOBILIDADE.net platform.
Soon, the link to the Platform will be made available, along with a tutorial on how to register and complete the LA.
- The LA is only valid after the Coordinator of the Course or the Erasmus Departmental Coordinator of the student's course signs it;
- Check who signs on the LA: Coordinators to be placed in the LA, according to the Department (pdf);
- We advise the students to verify the compatibility of curricula between the UA and NOVA FCT. If necessary, they should ask for support from the Course Coordinators and/or Erasmus Departmental Coordinators:
- The student must inform the DMIE by email that they have completed the LA, in order to verify if all fields are properly filled out before submitting it on MOBILIDADE.net. The student must include their full name, student number, and mobile number in the email.
- The student must inform the DMIE by email when the LA has been signed by the Course Coordinator or the Departmental Erasmus Coordinator of the course.
- As soon as the student verifies that the LA has been signed by UA, they must inform the DMIE by email so that their mobility contract can be issued.
The deadline to inform the DMIE that the LA is completed and signed will be the same deadline that the UA gives the student to formalize the application with them.
For example, if the UA informs the student that they have until June 1st/November 1st (1st and 2nd semester, respectively) to send them the documents they request, it will be until June 1st/November 1st that the students have to send the aforementioned document to the DMIE.
It is the responsibility of the student, together with the Course Coordinator and/or Erasmus Departmental Coordinator of the student's course, to verify academic recognition through:
- Consultation of the curricular units available at UA during the study period;
- Preparation of a study plan that should contain the UCs to be taken at UA (table A of the LA) and their accreditation at NOVA FCT (table B of the LA).
PLEASE NOTE: The formalization of the application at DMIE does not exempt the filling out and sending of all documentation requested by UA (even if it implies duplicating documentation).

Prerequisites
UA Language requirements
In cases where proof of a minimum language level is required and students do not have official certificates to prove it, it has been created the possibility, together with ILNOVA-Institute of Languages of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, for NOVA FCT students applying for Erasmus+ next year to take a "language proficiency test", whose result may be used by students or even by DMIE to confirm your language skills with UA.
Conditions for taking the "language proficiency test" at ILNOVA:
- the proficiency test can be taken for the following languages: German, Spanish, French, and English;
- Consult ILNOVA price table (HERE);
- To enroll, students must contact the ILNOVA secretary directly, identifying themselves as NOVA FCT students selected to undertake an Erasmus+ mobility period. They can do so in the following ways:
- In person – Torre A, 1st floor – Monday to Thursday, from 11am to 6pm
- By email – ilnova@fcsh.unl.pt
- By phone – +351 21 790 83 82
- The language test should be scheduled as far in advance as possible, so that ILNOVA can coordinate the tests with the various interested students.
- The test results will be sent to the DMIE, which will deliver them to the student and UA if requested.
- If UA has its own model to be certified, the student must send it to DMIE for evaluation of the possibility of signing it.
- If the proficiency test result is below the minimum level required by the destination university, then the student will be responsible for presenting their situation to the host university and seeking alternatives to obtain the necessary qualification within the deadlines stipulated.
Please note that not all students will need to take these tests, but we advise everyone to urgently inquire about the specific language requirements at the universities they have chosen as their destination, so that they can obtain certification if necessary within the required deadlines.
Accommodation
All students who need housing in the destination country should request information from UA.
