The final classification of the cycle of studies leading to the Master’s degree is awarded by the jury appointed to assess and discuss the dissertation, and is expressed by the formulas Rejected or Approved. Successful students are awarded marks in the 10-20 range of the integer scale from 0 to 20. Thus, the final grade for the master’s programme is not a weighted average of the school phase of the master’s programme and the dissertation phase. However, the final average of the school phase of the Master’s programme is shown on the certificate of completion of the school phase of the Master’s programme.

All students have to pay tuition fees, whether they are on a scholarship or not. The tuition fees, as well as the time distribution of their payment, also cover SASULisboa scholarship students and those who apply for and await the award of a scholarship, provided that they provide proof of their scholarship application to the Academic Division during the enrolment/registration period for the academic year. With the exception of the enrolment fee, school insurance and the first instalment of tuition fees, which are paid at the time of enrolment.

The foreign degrees that can be registered are defined by the Commission for the Recognition of Foreign Degrees, which operates within the Recognition, Mobility and International Cooperation Division of the Directorate-General for Higher Education.

Recognition of professional qualifications allows the holder to practise in Portugal the profession for which they are qualified in the member state of origin, under the same conditions as professionals who acquired the qualifications in that territory.
As is the case with qualifications obtained in the country where it is requested, recognition of foreign qualifications may not be sufficient to exercise a given profession.
The recognition of professional qualifications is regulated by a specific diploma available on the online page : www.dges.mctes.pt/DGES/pt/Reconhecimento/NARICENIC/Reconhecimento+Professional/.
