Iscte has the highest Strength Index in the country: 191.7%. The indicator measures the percentage of students who chose the course in which they were placed as their first option, and the result reflects the strength of the three new degrees launched this year. The demand for these new courses "confirms the success of the pedagogical innovation that Iscte has brought to higher education in Portugal", says Rector Helena Carreiras.
The three courses entered directly at the top of the university's highest averages, according to data released by the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation (MECI) for the 1st phase of the 2026 National Access Competition. International Studies (17.5 points) is the highest average at the institution. Law (17.2) is the third highest, surpassing the Law faculties of Lisbon and Coimbra. Mathematics Applied to Economics and Finance (17.1) is fourth, behind only Architecture (17.4).
For the 2026-2027 academic year, Iscte is still the university with the fewest remaining places in the country, with only 32 remaining for the 2nd phase. It is also the one that increased the number of vacancies in percentage terms compared to the previous year (4.7%), a growth due entirely to the three new degrees.
