Erasmus+ Studies (SMS) 2026-2027 - Application

 

Information Session on the Formalization of the Application

Documentation to be sent to NOVA FCT

Learning Agreement (LA)

It must be completed on the Online Learning Agreement (OLA) platform.

The student should consult the tutorial (here) on how to register and complete the Learning Agreement (LA).

  • Students must verify the compatibility of the UA curriculum with NOVA FCT. If necessary, they should request assistance from the Erasmus Departmental Coordinators: 
  • The total number of ECTS in Table B may only exceed that of Table A by 1 ECTS. If the difference is 2 ECTS, the NOVA FCT Coordinator must provide a justification when granting credit recognition;
  • Once the LA has been created and completed, the student must not sign or submit it. Instead, they should download the PDF and send it by email to DMIE (outgoing@fct.unl.pt) so that it can be checked to ensure all fields are correctly filled in. In the email, the student must include their full name, student number, and mobile phone number; 

  • After validation by DMIE, the LA must then be “SIGNED AND SUBMITTED” on the OLA platform by the student, and it will be sent directly to the Erasmus Departmental Coordinator. It will only be considered valid after it has been signed by the Coordinator;
    The student must send the LA to DMIE by email once it has been signed by the Erasmus Departmental Coordinator;
    As soon as the student verifies that the LA has been signed by UA, they must send it to 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 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. Consult the UA website  (here);
  • 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 to confirm 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.

  • 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.

If there are no options recommended by UA, we provide a link that may help in your search for accommodation, noting that Uniplaces is solely responsible for the listings: https://www.uniplaces.com/
