- Career path (PP) (on a scale from 0 to 200): weight b%, according to the values in Table 1;
- Soft skills (CCR) evaluated by means of an interview (on a scale from 0 to 200): weight c%, according to the values in Table 1.

Ranking Criteria Weighting

Table 1: Ranking criteria weighting for TLA (Holders of first degree in an Appropriate Area) applications

 

Ranking criteria	MIB	MIEC	MIEA	MIEEC	MIEGI	MIEIC	MIEM	MIEMM	MIEQ
PA: a%	50	80	80	80	50	80	80	80	80
PP: b%	-----	20	20	20	10	20	20	20	20
CCR: c%	50	-----	-----	-----	40	-----	-----	-----	-----

Notes:

1 - In the 1^st and 2^nd phases, only applicants with a ranking grade equal to, or higher than, 140 points (on a scale from 0 to 200) will be admitted, and they must provide supporting documents attesting that they have completed the necessary qualifications to apply.

2 - In the 3^rd phase, applicants who have completed or are expected to complete the cycle of studies by the end of the application deadline will be accepted for ranking. If applicants do not have a graduation certificate yet, they must present a declaration of honour stating that they have completed the necessary qualifications to apply. Placed applicants will only be able to enrol after they present the said certificate.

3 – For the Master in Engineering and Industrial Management (MIEGI), only applicants with a final application grade equal to, or higher than, 130 points (on a scale from 0 to 200) will be admitted. This final grade is based on the weighting of the PA, PP and CCR criteria shown in Table 1.

Tie-Breaking Criterion
In the event of a tie, priority will be given to applicants with the highest number of accumulated ECTS credits (number of ECTS credits subsequently transferred to the students) in areas of the cycle of studies they are applying for.
If this criterion is not sufficient, an interview will break the tie.

Documents Required

• ID document (ID Card / Citizen Card / Passport) or declaration containing the identification data  (mandatory);
• Graduation certificate regarding a higher education degree (mandatory);
  - In the 3^rd phase, if you have already graduated but do not have the corresponding certificate yet, you must submit a declaration indicating the completion date and the final grade you expect to obtain, and your enrolment will be subject to the presentation of the corresponding certificate within the deadlines indicated;
• Certificate of the higher education institution listing the curricular units in which you got a passing grade, indicating the regime (semester/year) and the number of credit units/ECTS. If you cannot obtain a certificate which includes all this information, you must add a detailed list of the curricular units completed, and include all the missing information (mandatory);
  - Enrolment will be subject to the presentation of the corresponding certificate within the deadlines indicated;
  - UP students are only required to scan and attach the information included in their “Percurso Académico” (Academic Pathway).
