ERASMUS IP SS

FLUL is going to participate in an Erasmus IP Summer School entitled "Cultural Landscapes: Negotiating Cultural Encounters with the English-Speaking World" this August in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. This Summer School is a great opportunity for those who do not have the means to go abroad on an a regular Erasmus program, as this course will only last two weeks (July 28 - August 8, 2014). 

The programme comprises 6–8 hours of academic courses per day which will take place at the historical Lit&Phil Library (attendance is obligatory), with additional daily activities such as talks and visits to local sites, as well as national theme-nights. 

Thanks to the funding by the European Commission, travel expenses will be refunded in full (up to a reasonable limit) after the summer school is finished and all students will be provided with free accommodation at Liberty Court Residence. We are also hoping to be able to provide breakfast and lunch. 

To be eligible to apply, students must be officially enrolled at FLUL at the time of the summer school, i.e. August 2014. Unfortunately, third year students who will finishing up their course this school year 2013/2014 are not eligible to take part in the course. To apply, Portuguese students need to fill out an application form available on the website (http://www.anglistika.net/summer-school) by 10 March 2014 and send it to the following email address: lilicavalheiro@campus.ul.pt.

This course is mainly aimed at students who are taking English classes at our Faculty and who have at least concluded a B2 level, as there will be reading and writing assignments to complete.

Please check the website, where you can find answers to FAQs (frequantly asked questions), the program, course descriptors and schedule for the summer school, as well as testimonies from students who participated in previous years. - http://www.anglistika.net/summer-school

Remember, this is an intensive academic program in which students are expected to work and participate in - not a paid vacation. When filling out the application forms, please keep this in mind.
