Coimbra had not published its 2027/28 phases when checked on 13 September 2026. The 2026/27 special call is the pattern: four application phases, 15 December 2025 to 26 January 2026, 16 February to 15 April, 20 May to 20 July, and 7 to 14 August 2026, each with results about a week later and a short registration window. The first phase opens in mid December, so an applicant for autumn 2027 should expect to apply around then, and should have Portuguese B1 or B2 evidence ready because the degrees are taught in Portuguese.
