Note: Provisional information, pending approval.
From the 2021/2022 academic year onwards, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto has extended its training offer of 2nd study cycles with nine more master's degrees due to the adequacy of the integrated study cycles leading to the master's degree resulting from the provisions of Decree-Law No. 65/2018, of August 16th.
For information purposes only, we distinguish the 2nd study cycles between Stand-Alone Masters and Continuity Masters (those resulting from the aforementioned adaptation of the Integrated Masters), since there are some differences in the respective applicants, ranking criteria and documents to be submitted.
Therefore, depending on the Masters (2nd cycle studies) you wish to apply to, you should carefully read the information below regarding Stand-Alone Masters and/or Continuing Masters.
Tuition fees:
Information on tuition fees for 2022/2023 available here.
Applicants for Stand-Alone Masters
The following may apply to the cycle of studies that leads to a Master's degree:
a) Holders of a Bachelor's degree (Licenciatura) or legal equivalent;
b) Holders of a foreign higher education degree awarded after a first cycle of studies structured in accordance with the Bologna Process by a State that implemented this process;
c) Holders of a foreign higher education degree that is recognized as meeting the objectives of a Bachelor's degree by the statutory competent scientific body.
d) Those with an academic, scientific or professional curriculum recognized as attesting to their ability to carry out the cycle of studies by the statutory competent scientific body.
Please see information for each cycle of studies.
Applicants for Continuity Masters
Applicants will be admitted to the competition if they comply with the prerequisites of previous education defined for each Continuity Masters (see information for each cycle of studies).
The following may apply for a Continuity Master at FEUP:
- applicants who have completed the first 3 full years of a study cycle carried out in a country not adhering to the Bologna Process;
- applicants whose completion of a Bachelor's degree (Licenciatura) is pending the bureaucratic closure of an international mobility process, whatever their Higher Education Institution (HEI) of origin;
- “final-year students” who have legitimate expectations of obtaining the degree by the end of the June/July/September evaluation periods, regardless of their home HEI. These applicants lose the right to be placed in the competition in question if they are not able to register by the established deadlines; (See below "Notes for Continuity Masters")
- applicants who, not being covered by paragraphs a), b) or c), explicitly wish to request the FEUP Scientific Council to certify their capacity to carry out the study cycle to which they are applying. These applicants should previously submit the referred request at the FEUP Academic Services using this template for that purpose.

Ranking Criteria for Stand-Alone Masters
Ranking criteria are defined by cycle of studies (see information for each cycle of studies).
In some study cycles or application phases there may be minimum requirements for the admission of applicants, for example, to have a grade equal or higher than a certain value in a numerical scale 0-200.
Ranking grade: result obtained by applying the calculation formula established in the ranking criteria.
Ranking Criteria for Continuity Masters
In some Continuity Masters programmes a minimum Final Grade* value may be established in order to be admitted in the study cycle.
*Final Grade (CF): weighted average of the ranking components.
Note: In the study cycles that foresee an interview as a ranking criterion, the call for interview will be made by e-mail to the e-mail address stated in the application.
Application is subject to the payment of a non-refundable fee of 55 euros.
