International Students

International Student Special Competitions may apply to candidates who:

• do not have Portuguese nationality;

• have not been legally resident in Portugal for more than two years in a row from 1 January of the year in which they want to apply for higher education;
• are not family members of Portuguese or nationals of a Member State of the European Union;
• do not benefit from the status of equal rights and duties granted by any international treaty signed by Portugal and the country from which they are nationals, on 1 January of the year they intend to enter higher education.

A student who joins under the International Student Regulations maintains international student status until the end of the course in which he or she enrolls or enrolls.
Only international students who acquire the national of a member state of the European Union in the course of the course, and apply only in the following school year.

As an International Student you can apply in two ways:

• Through the Special International Student Access and Entry Contest – If you have completed high school or equivalent, with the conditions provided in the information on this page;

• Through the Special Institution / Course Pair Change Contest – if you are attending or have attended higher education without having completed it, under the conditions provided in the information in the link: HERE
(Applications usually start in June / July)

Candidates compete for the qualifications which in their home country would give them access to higher education. In any case, they must demonstrate that they have passed the specific subjects of the Integrated Master in Psychology (two of the following: Biology, Mathematics, Portuguese), or through the final exams, if any, or by passing the corresponding subjects in their plans of studies.

The ENEM, Vestibular or other tests valid for the application are those held in the year or three years prior to the application. Thus for 2019/20 there are valid proofs of 2019, 2018, 2017 or 2016.

You will have to take the ENEM if you are in Brazil or apply for the entrance exams set for the course, under the general access regime, through the Directorate General of Higher Education.

You should consult the Notice that is available on the Internet for information on dates and vacancies available for each application phase. In the same notice you also find the necessary documentation and conditions of admission. Applications for the EI Special Entry and Entry Contest usually start in February.

You can apply through the Special Institution / Course Pair Change Contest – if you are attending or have attended higher education without having completed it under the conditions provided or through the Special Contest for Holders of a higher education course.
These two competitions follow the rectory calendars, with the application period from July to August and the release of results in mid-September.

All documents will be submitted in digital format at Portal Fénix for the purposes of instruction and consideration of the application. Subsequently, if admitted, at the time of registration, the originals or certified copies must be presented.
Under penalty of exclusion, foreign documents must be endorsed by the Portuguese Consular Office or presented with the affixing of The Hague Apostille by the competent authority of the State from which the document originates and, where not issued in Portuguese, English, French or Spanish must be translated by an official translator into one of these languages.

In Brazil, in high school, if the evaluation is positive, the existing scales are from 4 to 10, from 5 to 10, from 6 to 10 or even from 7 to 10.
Given the existence of several scales, we need to obtain the scale used by the educational institution where the student attended high school, so that the jury will be able to convert proportionally to the approval scale from 100 to 200, according to Ordinance No. 699. / 2006, of July 12, and can then serialize the students. If the student, in the document with the High School assessments, does not have the indication of the scale used, the application is excluded because there is no way to calculate the entrance grade.

The fee to be paid for the application is 60,00 € (sixty euros), and can be paid by reference MB, option “Online payment” (credit card) in Phoenix or in person at the Treasury of FPULisboa. There is no refund of the application fee if the applicant is excluded or not selected. Applications that have not paid the application fee by the application deadline are completely excluded.

The list will be published on the page of the Faculty of Psychology, on the date defined in the announcement for posting results.

The annual tuition fee for the academic year 2019/2020 is € 5000.00 (five thousand euros), plus school insurance, and can be paid by reference MB, option “Online payment” (credit card) in Phoenix or in person at the Treasury of FPULisboa.
Upon registration and registration, 30% of the total amount of the tuition fee must be paid, which corresponds to 1500,00 € (one thousand and five hundred euros). Even in case of withdrawal there is no place to return this amount.
The remaining amount of the fee may be paid in full or in installments, on dates to be defined. In the case of formally withdrawing studies, the student is only exempt from paying the annual attendance fee (tuition fees) that have not yet expired at the date of the cancellation request.
