ERASMUS+ ICM

---

ICM stands for International Credit Mobility and it is an academic exchange programme funded by Erasmus+ Programme offering students and staff the opportunity to apply to grants to accomplish studies, training or teaching at higher education institutions located in Europe and other world regions. ICM grantees will be better prepared to live in a global world, increasing their experience and knowledge, foreign language competencies, employability, productivity, and social responsibility.

The U.Porto participates in this programme, either as a coordinating institution or as a partner in several consortia.

Applications

Who can apply?

• Students registered at ICM project partner institutions and enrolled in a study program leading to a recognised degree (Bachelor, Master or Doctorate);
• First year students from any level of education can apply if, at the end of that year, they have passed at least 48 ECTS credits (U.Porto requirement).

How to apply

Students interested in accomplishing a study period at one of the partner institutions of the ICM project they are applying to, must contact the International Office of their home institution during the official calls for applications.

The deadlines, procedures and number of scholarships available vary from project to project and are limited by the conditions of each specific consortium project.

Apart from the requirements of each ICM project, all candidates must comply with the reuqirements for application of their home university, as the application must be endorsed by the competent authorities.

Scholarships

The grants from these projects cover travel costs to and from the destination country, health insurance and personal accident insurance, as well as a monthly scholarship, which varies according to the type of mobility.
