Please note that each university might have a slightly different academic calendar. Once you have indicated to our office (during the application phase) your top-choice host university, you will be provided with all the information you will need, including exact starting/end dates, evaluation periods, breaks, etc. Nonetheless, SiPN’s general dates are designed to properly accommodate all SiPN semester students, regardless of their SiPN host-university.

A detailed calendar with all SiPN promoted activities, including the sponsored field trips, will be provided once a student is officially accepted into SiPN.

SiPN recommends its students to buy flight fares that allow to change departure dates at a lower cost. It is quite frequent that we see our students wanting to extend their stay in Lisbon, especially Spring participants.
