May the registration be modified later on?) | Můj obor, divadelní dramaturgie, má pevně stanovený počet předmětů a kreditů sdružených do bloku Dramaturgia V. Jako volitelný předmět jsem si přidala portugalštinu - kurz pro začátečníky - na pedagogické fakultě UL. |

| Did you take exams at the host institution? (select) | no |

| Please describe the methods of learning/teaching (theory, practice, projects) and the methods of evaluation/assessment of students's performance at the host institution and compare them with the situation at your home institution. | Studenti dochází do seminářů, které jsou kombinací přednášky a samostatné práce. Diskutuje se o samostatně připravených tématech, analyzují se kritiky divadelních představení či prezentovaných záznamů, píší umělecké texty. Narozdíl od domácí univerzity jsem postrádala volnost v práci na projektech, které vedou profsoři, věnují se práci s herci a studenti dramaturgie či režie se jich účastní formou náslechů a asistencí. |
| How do you see the quality of teaching at the host institution compared to your home institution? (select) | lower |
| How did you obtain study materials at the host institution? (were these distributed for free during lectures or was it necessary to buy them?) | Některé knihy jsem si v češtině nechávala posílat z domova, jiné jsem si v angličtině půjčovala v knihovnách a jinak jsem si materiály kopírovala - ty dodávali pedagogové. |
| How is the availability and facilities of the library? | Knihovna je otevřená od 8 ráno do 8 večer, to jsem ocenila, je v ní několik počítačů s připojením k Internetu a místnost s videem a DVD přehrávačem. Nerozumím portugalsky, těžko ocenit význam zastoupených knih a autorů, ale kvantitativně jich bylo velmi málo, anglicky prakticky žádné. Zaměstnanci anglicky rovněž neumí. |
| How is the availability of computer facilities (availability of internet connection, is it necessary to have your own notebook?, possibilites of printing and copying)? | Počítače v knihovně, wi-fi na základě školního emailu - neměla jsem ho, ale neptala jsem se po jiné možnosti řešení. Kopírovací kancelář je přímo v budově školy, ceny rychlé, obsluha mírná a nerozumí anglicky. |

| Does the host institution (or a local student organization) organize some special events for exchange students? (select) | no |

shared apartment with other students |
| Price of your accommodation (in EUR monthly) | 210 |
| Please explain why did you choose this type of accommodation (describe the equipment of the flat/dormitory; internet connection; recommend what to bring with you; possibility of checking in in the evening or during a weekend) | Bydlela jsem ve velkém bytě poblíž náměstí Marques de Pombal. Do centra pěšky 10 minut. Narozdíl od historických čtvrtí Alfamy či Bairro Alta to byl co se rozměrů a výšky stropu týče normální byt se dvěma koupelnami, myčkou, pračkou, sušičkou, Internetem a úklidem dvakrát týdně v ceně, součástí byl malý dvoreček. Jedinou nevýhodou suterénní poloha - v Portugalsku častá - můj pokoj neměl okno. |
| How long before the start of the study abroad period should the search for accommodation be started? What searching methods would you recommend? | měsíc předem přes Internet |
| Where can students have/buy their meals? | školní menza - levná a chutná |
| What are the prices of basic foodstuffs? (Please compare them with the Czech Republic.) | o trochu dražší, ale dá se žít i za téměř stejnou cenu |
| How to get to the place of study, approximate ticket prices, tips for purchasing tickets | Vídeň - Lisabon za 5500 (ovšem dva týdny před odletem), platí čím dřív tím líp, ale Lisabon je daleko, letenky jsou vždycky spíš dražší. |
| What are the possibilities of local transport (public transport system, bicycle, walking; approximate costs)? | MHD formou metra, tramvají, trajektů, trolejbusů, autobusů a vlaků kamkoli v blízkém i vzdáleném okolí Lisabonu, různá pásma s různými cenami. Kolo pro otrlé, město je z kopce do kopce a dlážděné kočičími hlavami. |
| What formalities should be arranged after arrival (e.g. residence permit)? | zařídit si kartičku na MHD, vyzvednout průkaz studenta |
| What type of health insurance did you use? (approximate cost, advantages, disadvantages, does the host institution require any special type of insurance?) | pojištění k běžnému účtu ČS (platí celý rok a stojí cca 30 Kč/měsíc) |
| Did you have experience with medical treatment abroad? (select) | |
| Did you work during your study abroad period? | yes |
| What are the working conditions for Czech/international students? | jeden rok v Portugalsku jste osvobození od placení daní, zřídíte-li si bankovní účet, dostanete fiskální číslo a Recibos Verdes (paragony), do kterých vám zaměstnavatel zapisuje vyplacenou částku. nezřídíte-li si účet, dá se to podobně vyřešit jednorázovou Acto Isolado smlouvou - jen jednou za rok. |
| Tips for free time activities (sport, culture, trips; are they expensive?) | Co kdo chce. V Lisabonu se dá surfovat, lézt po skalách, chodit na výlety, kulturní vyžití odpovídá hlavnímu městu, oblíbenou zábavou Portugalců je chodit na jídlo do restaurací. Finanční náročnost záleží na vás, lze se pobavit za libovolné množství peněz. |
