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.

Lisbon: Visa

Dear students coming to Lisbon,

The process of renewing a Portuguese visa can be a nightmare -- I have spent four hours in the immigration office this week! In order to try to avoid this, instead of asking for a student visa, ask for an "Autorização de Residência com Visto". It is possible that they say you cannot apply for this one, but try insisting because if you get a student visa it is only valid for 4 months, which is not enough for the length of our studies. And as I said, the process to renew it is very unpleasant.

If it does not work and you still need to renew your visa, you can find information on how to do it here.

Good luck!
