In the screen “Confirmation of course and application regime”, read carefully the information
provided and click “Continue” if you are sure about the data you have inserted and the choice
you have made:
Once you confirm your application, the next step is to insert data about your education
qualifications (secondary education or equivalent), the country and the type of school you have
attended, the year of completion of the education qualification and the final average score (if
applicable).
It is also very important to fill in the form about your knowledge of the Portuguese language
and to choose the options that apply to your case. Below, there’s an example of an applicant
who has not followed the Portuguese secondary education and has elementary knowledge of
Portuguese. In this case, the applicant had to tick an extra box stating that he/she commits to
follow Portuguese language intensive courses at UC before the beginning of the study
programme.
