STUDENT INTERCHANGE
The
Geosciences Department has been actively involved in the
EU Socrates Program, namely through the ERASMUS Action,
which is devoted to the promotion of mobility of
students and teaching staff between European States.
As
regards the mobility of students, the ERASMUS action has
allowed the mobility of undergraduate students between
European Universities for periods that range from one
term to a full year. These stays in foreign
universities, besides the obvious cultural and social
personal enrichment of the students involved, allow the
attending of courses in those Universities, with the
garantee that the approval in these will be given an
equivalence in the study plan of their original
University degree in the University of origin.
In the last few years,
the Geosciences Department has received permanently, in
average, 3 to 4 students per year from other European
Universities and it has sent, also in average, 2
students per year to foreign Universities. This number
is rising. In 2002/2003, 4 full year and 2 single term
mobility schollarships have been attributed to students
from the Geological Engineering course of the University
of Aveiro.
Universities already involved in interchange of
students
The
main Universities with which student interchange in
Geosciences is currently active are:
University of Calabria (Italy)
University
of Cagliari (Italy)
University
of Barcelona (Spain)
University
of Lleida (Spain).
University
of Craiova (Romenia)
University
of Freiberg (Germany)
Applications
from students/researchers from other Universities are
welcome and, where necessary, protocols can be
established.
Applications for 2006/2007
The deadline for the applications for schollarships for
2006/2007 ends on the 28th of February 2006. Those interested should contact the International
Relations Office of the University of Aveiro (gri@adm.ua.pt).
