All the students who are citizens of the E.U. or with permanent residence visas can apply.

They also have to have a valid inscription in a partner University (avaiable soon).

Where do I apply?

You start by handing in all the necessary papers at your home University and after they have been validated by them they should be sent to us according to the deadlines defined in the internal regulations for incoming students. 

Who signs all my papers at ISPA?

All your papers should be forwarded to the International Relations Office (international@ispa.pt) and they will be signed by our Coordinator or by the Erasmus Officer.

According to the rules set by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), your stay, can vary from 3 months to a maximum of 12 months.
