Welcome

This blog was created as part of the Erasmus Mundus Crossways in Cultural Narratives Masters programme, which is the only one of the EU approved and funded Erasmus Mundus Masters programmes to specialise in traditional humanities with a modern languages background. The Crossways Consortium comprises 6 top-class European universities.

For further information, please check the programme's official website and the universities' websites on the Useful Links section on the left. If you wish to have a specific question answered, please click on Email here and submit your query.

Mundus students, here you will find regular posts regarding the universities of the consortium, tips, activities, events, pictures, etc. Apart from checking it regularly to keep yourself up to date, a good way to use the blog is through the search device. We already have a significant amount of information on some universities of the consortium, so if you want to find information on a specific city, type its name in the search field (top left). You will then see all posts related to that specific city (because each post title contains the city's name in it). You can also type "General" in order to find information concerning everybody.

ACADEMIC MATTERS   

 

You do not have to deal a lot with the secretariat, but mostly with the Erasmus Office (7th floor, right hand side, Torre A). Bear in mind that the office is open from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 and in the afternoon from 14:30 to 16:30. Sometimes the ladies are still in the office after the opening hours, but try to avoid talking to them unless you are in a big trouble. Please remember that once you come to Lisbon you will need a huge amount of passport photos: 


1 for the student card

2 for the library card 

1 for the university residence 

1 for the monthly metro pass 

1 for the Cartão Jovem (a card for those under 26 which gives a lot of discounts in bookshops, shops, train tickets etc. it’s sold at the post office). 

@ All the associations (culture, sports, etc) require a photo of you.
