2. Universidade de Coimbra
Master students need to send a bachelor certificate OR a transcript of records with 180 ECTS credits to the Student Exchange Office.
PhD students need to send a master certificate to the Student Exchange Office. PhD students will only receive ECTS credits if they complete courses at the host institution. Therefore, they will not receive any ECTS credits from the host institution for PhD-related research they undertake. The home institution is responsible for accrediting PhD students with ECTS credits for research completed at the host institution.
It is not possible for students to hand-in their final BA-/MA-/PhD-thesis at the host institution. Final theses need to be graded by the home institution.
The University of Coimbra offers counselling for students with disabilities and chronic diseases. We assist with finding suitable accommodation (wheelchair users are advised to apply for accommodation as early as possible), we provide information about public transport, access to health care, and about financial support in case of additional disability expenditure on the part of the student. The Office for Students with Special Needs moreover gives information concerning the accessibility of university buildings and helps to move a class to another room, if needed. Accommodated study and exam conditions, e.g. additional study papers for blind and visually impaired students, or extra time to use technical devices during exams can also be arranged.
