Universities in Portugal (2027): Fees, Deadlines, Requirements

Non-EU students enter Portuguese public universities through the International Student Statute, a special call with its own quota and fees set by each university. The deciding fact is language: bachelor's degrees are taught in Portuguese, and the University of Coimbra requires Portuguese at B2, with a paid foundation year for those below it. Applications run in several phases through the year rather than to one deadline.
