1. final-year students who are missing up to two course units to complete their respective course;

2. the existence of unfilled places, after the end of applications for the respective academic year, in the study cycle leading to the Master's degree to which the course units that students wish to attend belong;

4. students do not exceed the enrolment limit of 60 ECTS throughout their academic career.

The Academic Unit will reject applications that do not meet the above conditions (1 to 4).

The application process must be accompanied by the following mandatory documents:

The list of courses and places available for application will be published here by 17 September 2025.

Selection criteria:

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of available places, the following selection criteria will be applied:

1. highest arithmetic mean, weighted by ECTS, of the grades obtained in the course units completed in the bachelor's degree (up to the date of application), calculated to two decimal places;

2. if there is a tie, candidates will be ranked according to the highest number of ECTS credits obtained in the academic year prior to their application;

3. if the tie continues to exist, the date of entry of the requests (date/time) will be considered.

More information available in the Order D/61/2025, of 22 July.

Enrolment can be done simultaneously for both semesters or separately within the following deadlines:

• Curricular units for the 1st semester: until the end of October;

• Curricular units for the 2nd semester: until the end of January.

Enrolment is subject to payment of the fees determined by the Management Board of CIÊNCIAS ULISBOA:

                                                                     Fee = 1,5 x P x I ECTS/60

where P is the annual tuition fee for the course the student is enrolled in, and I ECTS is the total number of ECTS credits for the courses the student is enrolled in.

If the student enrolls in a master's degree program that includes the courses in which they obtained a successful grade, they must request the appropriate credit within the established academic deadlines.
