The Universidade Aberta of Portugal is a public distance education university. All study programs are taught fully online. Students carry out their studies anywhere in the world by accessing the institutional e-learning platform implemented according to the Virtual Pedagogical Model of the University – a model internally developped and externally recognized.

The internationalisation of the University and of its students and staff is one main goal.

The Erasmus Staff Week offers a great opportunity to widen and strengthen the cooperation with partner institutions, to share different experiences on internationalization and to enlarge the networking and the establishment of new partnerships.
