Within Europe 

Europe has a growing need for equipping its citizens with training and skills and for fostering creativity. The world is rapidly changing and, therefore, it is vital for education and training systems to keep up with this development, adapting, modernizing, and making the best use of the new opportunities that arise from such development. Erasmus+ can make an important contribution to help tackle the challenges posed by this constant change.

• Mobility for studies – for students who wish to carry out a period of studies at another institution for which an Agreement/Protocol exists; mobility can be for up to one academic year (a minimum period of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months). 
   
• Mobility for training – the possibility that any student, enrolled and registered in a course at the  Católica Medical School or in the twelve months following course completion (graduates)  has to carry out on-the-job training abroad for a period of 2-12 months in companies, research centres or higher education institutions under the ERASMUS+ Programme in Europe. In this case, bilateral agreements are not required, just a letter accepting the student issued by the entity where the student proposes to carry out the internship. As regards mobility to countries outside of Europe, a protocol will be required from the higher education institution where the training will take place.
  
  The internship may be:
• Curricular  – for traineeships part of the course curricular plan attended by the student at CMS.
• ​Extracurricular  – for traineeships not part of the course curricular plan, and will not add to the academic degree of the course which students are attending at CMS. Mention thereof will only appear in the diploma supplement.

   The student is responsible for finding the internship location.

In Portugal 

The Almeida Garrett Program is an internal mobility program for public university students, enabling them to carry out a period of studies, with full academic recognition, at one of the Portuguese Higher Education Institutions in the Council of Rector of Portuguese Universities (CRUP). 

The Program promotes quality and enhances the national dimension in higher education, encouraging national cooperation between higher education institutions, fostering national mobility in higher education, and improving transparency and the academic recognition of studies and qualifications in Portugal.
