Evaluation

The evaluation methodology of each curricular units constant in the master’s course should take into account the nature of its scientific content, the competences to be developed and the teaching and learning methods.

The evaluation rules of the curricular units are contained in the syllabus presented at the beginning of each school year, approved by the Pedagogical Council.

The evaluations are held in two seasons, Normal and Appeal, according to the schedule approved for each course. If the student fails at the Normal Season, they will be automatically enrolled at the Appeal one.

Students who are approved in a course unit can use the next two evaluation seasons (Normal and/or Appeal) to improve their grade and this can only be done once during the student’s academic journey.

Registration for improvement is done up to three working days before the evaluation date, on the FenixEdu Portal.

After logging in, go to the ‘Student’ tab and, under ‘Enrol’, click on ‘Evaluations’.

This enrolment can be cancelled up to two working days (until 4 pm) before the exam. To do so, students should contact the Academic Office at mestrados@ff.ulisboa.pt.

Enrolment in Grade Improvement costs €15 per course unit.

Students who have up to three course units to finish the course component may benefit from a special evaluation period.
