Plan the Trimester Before Enrolling!

MSc students will have to complete a certain amount of ECTS in company activities and workshops. Most activities will grant points that will then be converted into ECTS.

Unlike with regular courses, CAL enrollment is done on the careerNETwork/symplicity platform. Some days before the dates mentioned below, all students receive an e-mail to check the activities on offer.

​There will be several activities running simultaneously, so you will have to choose carefully. Not all activities and workshops will be offered in all trimesters. Remember that skipping a Workshop / Company session is unfair to students that wanted to attend but didn't get a slot. 

On that note, if you have to complete 4 ECTS, each trimester you will be assigned a Grade based on your attendance in workshops and company activities (more information below).

After enrolling on workshops, you will have to access Moodle to attend them. (To access you must use your student credentials). Activities have different duration and they will be delivered in a blended format with asynchronous and/or synchronous moments.

Aditional Information

Career Accelerator Lab absence justifications will only be accepted if you provide an EVIDENCE OF ABSENCE here.

The Absence Form should be submitted within two days after the date of the workshop/activity. If necessary, the justification documents can be provided later, but always within 5 working days after the date of the workshop/recruitment activity. At the end of this time period, the absence justification will be automatically declared invalid.

Since the Certificate of Conclusion does not list all activities completed during the Career Accelerator Lab program, students can request the Careers & Talent Office to issue a Career Lab Certificate that provides all that information.

As such,  after the thesis defense, students can ask for this specific certificate by sending an e-mail to careerlab.clsbe@ucp.pt
