Campus Europae captures the imagination of Portuguese second level students
Three students in the last year of their secondary studies in Aveiro have chosen Campus Europae as the main topic for their project discipline. “We plan to engage in a exchange programme upon commencing our higher education and we heard about Campus Europae, which being much less known than Erasmus seems to offer some interesting features that we went on to investigate”, explained Daniela Soares. And so they did, with the product of their interest being a 25 page report that details the origin and aims of CE, its organs, coverage, language policy, application process, financing possibilities and the CE degree. Other aspect that was looked with interest concerned the role of the Student Council in the larger context of CE’s objectives.
A view of the lecture organized about Campus Europae
In order to gain a better understanding of how student mobility can work and what it avails to its participants Daniela Soares, Marco Barbosa e Hugo Soares were joined by Professor Estela Pereira, President of EUF-CE, Albano Pereira, a former CE mover from the University of Aveiro, and Milos Milosevic, a CE mover from Novi Sad in a lecture they organized in their school.
By way of conclusions they didn’t shy away from stressing that details matter a lot, for they can enhance greatly the benefits reaped during a year abroad – an aspect in which they found Campus Europae to outperform Erasmus – and that mobility can play a crucial role in widening horizons and developing competences that may prove crucial for facilitating entrance in the labour market.
