• The applicants who have not attended secondary education in Portuguese and do not present a “DIPLE” (Intermediate Diploma of Portuguese as a Foreign Language, B2 level) or a B2 level certificate issued by a ULisboa School have to enrol in an Annual Portuguese Language Course. The course can be attended during the first year of the degree program. At the end of the first year, the applicants should have achieved the B2 level of proficiency.
