International Cooperations Agreements
International cooperation is part of the broad strategic development of ISCTE-IUL. It is for this reason that international activity is very comprehensive and distinguished, covering European Union countries, Africa, Latin America and Asia.
Students can benefit during their studies, of an international exchange opportunity in one of the Higher Education Institutions counterparts in either the EU or in Third Countries, thus improving their employment expectations, often internationally.
Besides Erasmus Programme ISCTE-IUL offers students the opportunity to participate in a mobility outside Europe. To meet the offer, consult the list of international agreements here.
The application process for both programmes (Erasmus and International Agreements) is described in the Mobility Step-by-Step link.
It is important to note that there are no grants available for those students participating in the International cooperation agreement mobility.
