The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon wants to support its students and new graduates in the acquisition of new knowledge, skills and professional qualifications in order to facilitate their personal development, employability and participation in the transnational labour market. Therefore, there are numerous reasons for doing an internship abroad:

• Knowing a new country and its culture;
• Getting new academic, scientific and personal competences in a real work environment;
• Learning a new language;
• Improving career opportunities.    

This is an experience that will greatly contribute to the personal development of trainees, through the acquisition of numerous soft skills resulting from the contact with new cultures and new realities.
