Mobility

The students will be organised in a cohort that will jointly move around the four universities in the consortium. This way, they will stay:

  • at the University of Padova for the first semester;
  • at Vilnius University for the second semester;
  • at the University of Granada for the third semester;
  • the fourth semester will be dedicated to the Master’s Thesis (with remote or local tutoring, as preferred by students), ending with the graduation week to be held face-to-face at the University of Minho.
