UNDERGRADUATE | INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

Under the rules of the International Student Statute, applicants that wish to enroll in the Bachelor’s and Integrated Master’s courses at Iscte - University Institute of Lisbon will be assigned an admission score according to the following criteria:

a)    The average final mark (on a scale from 0 to 20) the applicant obtained in secondary school, which will contribute 60% to the final admission score;

b)    The mark(s) (on a scale from 0 to 20) the applicant obtained in the specific subject(s) in secondary education listed under “Specific Exams” for the course in question (to make entry accessible for students with backgrounds in specific disciplines), which will contribute 40% to the applicant’s final admission score.

An applicant’s final admission score will be the average of the marks stated in paragraphs a) and b) and will be given on a scale from 0 to 20, rounded to the nearest whole number.

For entry into this admission contest, applicants must provide:

Only applicants with final admission scores equal to or above the value of 10 (on a scale from 0 to 20) will be admitted.

Applicants granted admission with a final mark and/or marks in in specific subjects referenced in paragraph b) below the value of 13, as well as those who demonstrate oral and/or written linguistic proficiency of a degree that could hinder their academic success, may be required to reinforce fundamental skills for their course through preliminary attendance of curricular units indicated by the Commission for Application Analysis.
