The following courses are expected to be available in English language for Erasmus+/exchange students. In addition, all Erasmus+/exchange students can attend a Portuguese Language Course for Foreigners, worth 6 ECTS credits (Beginners or Intermediate level).

These courses are available for postgraduate students only (i.e., having already completed at least 180 ECTS).

You can choose any subject (up to 30 ECTS per semester) from the Faculty your course at UFP belongs to.

The list can have some changes for next academic year. Please be advised that some changes may happen with the programs, number of credits and semester availability of each of these courses.
