Minho's rector fixed 2026/27 first-cycle and integrated master's tuition in three columns: EUR 697 for national students, a reduced rate for international students from the Portuguese-speaking CPLP countries, and a full rate for international students from all other countries. At the full rate, which applies to applicants from Bangladesh and most of Asia and Africa outside the CPLP, the fee is EUR 2,250 a year for 8 programmes in languages and humanities such as Philosophy, Cultural Studies and Applied Languages; EUR 4,500 for 41 programmes including Law, Criminology, Political Science, Public Administration and Accounting; EUR 6,500 for 47 programmes including Architecture, Visual Arts, Biochemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Data Science, Physics and Mathematics; and EUR 18,000 for the Integrated Master's in Medicine. CPLP nationals pay much less, for example EUR 1,100 instead of EUR 6,500 for most science degrees. Tuition is paid in ten equal instalments due by the 10th of each month. The application fee is EUR 68, and a complaint against a placement decision costs EUR 22.
