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.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES  

 

In Lisbon you can find almost all the international groceries you may need. If you love to cook at home and you need basic ingredients the cheapest supermarket is Minipreço (ask for a club card in order to get offers and discount every time you shop) and Lidl. You can find both of them close to the University. Minipreço is virtually everywhere in the city.  If you want more variety of products, Pingo Doce is a good option; it’s a chain of small supermarkets that are located in every neighbourhood. However, if you want to go a big supermarket where you can really find everything you need, you’ll need to take the metro or the bus and go. One option is Continente, at Parque das Nações (M: red line, Oriente) 


If you are looking for something more sophisticated El Corte Inglés can help you. There you find all kinds of food from many countries. It’s definitely top-quality, so you can imagine that the prices will also be among the highest in Lisbon. You can go to El Corte Inglés by metro (blue line: São Sebastião) or by walking for 15 minutes from our university.  Finally, if you need Oriental ingredients you should go to the Martim Moniz area (M: green line, Martim Moniz), where you can find Asian products in general. 

 


HEALTH 

 

Hopefully you won’t need a doctor in Lisbon, but just in case, there is a medical service available at Campolide campus, which is not very far from the university. You must book in advance, and the service offers prescriptions, general medical service, and psychological support. Personal advice: if you manage to have an appointment with the doctor allow at least 2 hours in your personal day-schedule, because s/he might be late.
