Attendance on any of the graduate and master’s courses at the Lisbon Polytechnic require a certain level of knowledge of the Portuguese language (level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

International applicants whose level of Portuguese or other language in which the course is taught, is only equivalent to the B1, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), may apply for entrance, provided that they commit to attending a Portuguese language course, or any other language in which the course is taught, confirmation of enrollment being dependent on attaining B2 level in that language.

If the candidate’s mother tongue is Portuguese and as a condition of entrance has a Portuguese secondary school diploma or legally equivalent qualification to this in Portuguese, they are exempt from demonstrating knowledge of the language.
