Tuition fees
Under the terms of the basic law on the financing of higher education, students must contribute to the costs of their training by paying the institutions where they are enrolled an attendance fee, known as a tuition fee.
Tuition fees are indexed to enrollment/registration, and not to attendance at a course/cycle of studies. This means that a student who is regularly enrolled (whether in single-standing course units, in a non-degree course, or in a Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctorate programme) who stops attending classes/teaching activities does not cease to be under obligation to pay the respective tuition fee.
UPB’s tuition fees are among the lowest in the entire higher education system in Portugal.
The UPB allows tuition fees to be paid in ten monthly instalments and also provides mechanisms for settling debts resulting from non-payment.
Additionally:
-
- The UPB offers all its final-year undergraduate students, who have up to 30 ECTS credits left to complete, the opportunity to continue their studies at Master’s degree level under favourable conditions in terms of tuition fees;
-
- Master’s degree students enrolled for the second time in the dissertation/project work/internship curricular unit and who only need to pass this curricular unit in order to complete the study cycle will have favourable tuition fee conditions.
