In candidate’s selection for the frequency of the course, in order of priority, following criteria will be adopted:

• Candidate degree classification, under the European scale of comparability (artigo 19º do Decreto-lei n.º 42/2005, 22 de Fevereiro) or the ranking of the diploma in that same year (n.º2, do artigo 20º do Decreto-lei n.º 42/2005, 22 de Fevereiro).
• Overall assessment of academic, scientific, artistic and professional curriculum, ranked in a scale from 0 to 20.

An interview the candidates may take place if the Course Scientific Committee of the Study deemed as necessary, ranked in a scale from 0 to 20.

Candidates will be chosen in descending order related to the scores ranking.

Evaluation rules

The evaluation of all UC is continuous for all the components that integrate it, and it must be completed by the last day of the school term of the academic semester.

The continuous evaluation of a UC must include a minimum of three elements in the set of evaluation components, on dates adequately spaced throughout the period of classes.

All UC with a theoretical-practical evaluation component must provide, in addition, a form of evaluation of this component by exam, to be carried out after the period of classes (Examination of Appeal).

All requirements and conditions related to the evaluation of the UC, namely the minimum weights and classifications, if any, of each component, as well as the Frequency conditions, are defined a priori and, mandatorily, published in the Discipline Form.

For each UC, combinations of three evaluation components are allowed: (i) Theoretical-practical evaluation; (ii) Laboratory or project evaluation; (iii) Summative assessment.

The final Dissertation (or Project) involves a public discussion with a Jury.
