Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Master's applicants must satisfy the relevant faculty's recognised-degree, subject and selection criteria.
  • The first degree uses undergraduate international-admission requirements instead.
  • Confirm qualification recognition, required school subjects or prior degree content with the faculty; the three examples do not share a single entrance standard.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • For 2026/27, Data Science and Engineering is listed in English; Pharmaceutical Technology is listed in Portuguese.
  • Informatics and Computing Engineering is listed in Portuguese as suitable for English-speaking students, which must not be advertised as an entirely English-taught degree.
  • Obtain written confirmation of classroom, examination and dissertation language.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • These examples use academic-year editions.
  • Confirm autumn entry and the faculty's available application phases for the next cycle rather than assuming a university-wide rolling or spring intake.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • Faculty-, programme- and phase-dependent.
  • Consult the official application notice for the intended entry year and applicant category.
  • Listed 2026/27 courses and fees do not establish that applications remain open on 21 October 2026.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • For 2026/27, Pharmaceutical Technology lists international annual tuition of EUR 4,500, while the first degree in Informatics and Computing Engineering lists EUR 6,000 annually for international students.
  • These are non-CPLP international rates.
  • Request the separate international master's quote for Data Science and Engineering; its displayed National/EU fee is not an Indian applicant's quote.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Request current faculty and university funding eligibility before budgeting an award.
  • Published CPLP fee categories are not a general international scholarship and should not be applied to an Indian applicant without an applicable eligibility basis.
