1. International Mobility
Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas has made considerable efforts in internationalisation and receives an increasing number of students and teachers from internationally recognised universities every year. The Faculty has established a wide network of partnerships to this effect. The university participates in several European programmes, namely Erasmus and Erasmus-Mundus.

FCSH hosts several partnerships with international higher education institutions for the mobility of students, in particular with Brazil, through scholarships provided by CAPES (Coordenação de Aprofundamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) (http://www.capes.gov.br/).
