Admission Requirements

• Brazilian Nationals: Applicants must have taken the ENEM (as the entrance exam) or the national entrance exams in Portugal that correspond to the required entrance exams for the chosen course. The Brazilian Vestibular exam is not valid in Portugal; therefore, Brazilian students must take the ENEM in order to apply.
• Other Nationalities: Must have completed a qualification that grants access to higher education, understood as any diploma or certificate issued by a competent authority attesting to the successful completion of a secondary education programme and granting the right to apply for and enter higher education in the country where it was awarded. Applicants must have completed final secondary school exams considered equivalent to the required entrance exams for the course they are applying for (please consult the Equivalency Table of Exams), or the national entrance exams in Portugal.
• Demonstrate at least a B2 level of Portuguese, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).
• Scholarships are intended for students who enroll through the general access regime to higher education.
• Our undergraduate degree is taught in both Portuguese and English; only our Master's (MA) programme is offered entirely in English.
