Individuals who do not possess Portuguese nationality or nationality from any other European Union (EU) member state may apply to the FA-UL studies under the status of international student (EEI – Estatuto de Estudante Internacional). Applicants originating from the EU are considered national candidates.

However, an applicant with foreign nationality who legally resides in Portugal for over 2 years (by January 1st of the year in which they intend to enrol in higher education) is considered a national student and must present his or her application through the national competition for access to higher education.

Enrolment and Access Regulation for International Students of the University of Lisbon 

*Through Despacho No. 21/2021, it is defined that the deposit amount for booking a vacancy is €500.00.
Failure to pay within the established deadlines implies the loss of a vacancy, which will be made available in the next phase of applications. When enrolling in the course, the amount paid as a deposit will revert to the amount due as a tuition fee, being deducted from the first installment.

Applicants with international student status must have a qualification that allows them the right to enrol and access higher education in the country of origin, which must be validated by the competent authority of that country (for example, the Portuguese Embassy or Consulate, the Hague Apostille Convention).

These applicants must also present their Portuguese high school diploma, or equivalent, if they legally reside in Portugal – or in any other EU member state – for less than 2 years (by January 1st of the year in which they intend to enrol in higher education).

In addition, applicants who did not attend high school in Portuguese must hold a Diploma of Portuguese Foreign Language, B1 level (DEPLE), an Intermediate Diploma of Portuguese Foreign Language, B2 level (DIPLE), or a certificate/declaration of Portuguese language and culture at B2 level, issued by a school within the University of Lisbon, or by a suitable teaching institution. Applicants who have basic proficiency in the Portuguese language (B1) may apply under commitment of attending an annual Portuguese language and culture course.
