This guide, produced by NARIC (National Recognition Information Centre), is the

result of the implementation of Measure 46 of the Immigrants Integration Plan

which was approved by the Minister Council Resolution nº 63-A/2007 of May 3rd,

and is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher

Education (MCTES).

We aim to present, in a clear and objective manner, information that enables all of

those potentially interested in understand the Portuguese higher education

system, in particular, with regards to the recognition of foreign qualifications, thus

contributing to the integration of foreign students and graduates who seek

Portugal as their host country.

We chose to organize this guide by chapters in order to ease the access to its

contents by a larger audience.

There was an effort to include in the annex a synthesis of the most recent legal

framework regarding the higher education system, the most relevant legal

diplomas on recognition of foreign higher qualifications as well as a list of higher

education institutions that have been recognized by MCTES.

II. Portuguese Education System

Page 9: RECOGNITION QUALIFICATIONS

9

The Portuguese education system is

composed by pre-school education,

school education and extra-school

education. School education

encompasses basic, secondary and

higher education.

PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION

Pre-school education is aimed at children between age three and entry in

compulsory schooling; it is a non-mandatory education that can be undertaken in

public or private kindergartens, and it is for free in the former.

BASIC EDUCATION

Basic education is compulsory, free of charge and nine years long. It is organized

in three consecutive cycles where the first cycle is four years long, the second

cycle is two years long and the third cycle is three years long.

In the first cycle, the education is global and aims to develop basic competences

in Portuguese Language, Mathematics, the Study of the Environment and

Expressions (Artistic or Physical-Motion), thus ensuring a common general

education and training, exploring and developing the students’ interests and skills,

and promoting individual achievement in harmony with social values.

In this first cycle of studies, education is globalizing and it is carried out by a sole

teacher who may, however, be assisted in specialized areas.

Page 10: RECOGNITION QUALIFICATIONS

10

The 2nd cycle is organized by interdisciplinary areas of basic education and

training, each area being carried out by a teacher.

On the other hand, the 3rd cycle aims to provide a more consistent education and

training, namely through the acquisition of skills that lead to the labor market or

further studying. Similarly to the previous cycle, this one is also organized by

disciplines and operates in a multi-teacher regime with specialized teachers

addressing different subject areas or disciplines.

The teaching of Information and Communication Technologies begins in 8th grade

and it becomes a mandatory course by 9th grade. In basic education, the learning

of two foreign languages, among English, French and German, is also mandatory.

At the end of the 3rd cycle, students are subject to an external summative

assessment by performing nationwide exams in the Portuguese and Mathematics

disciplines. Basic education culminates with the completion of this last cycle, when

it is awarded a certificate in basic education.

SECONDARY EDUCATION

Upon successful completion of basic education, any student can access a

secondary education course lasting three years. Secondary education aims to

provide diversified training and learning, and it comprises:

Scientific-humanistic courses: targeted for further studies at the higher

level, university or polytechnic;

Technologic courses: targeted for both the insertion in the labor market

and for further studies (specialized technologic courses or higher

education courses);

Page 11: RECOGNITION QUALIFICATIONS

11

Specialized artistic courses: according to the selected artistic field,

targeted for both the insertion in the labor market and for further studies

in post-secondary courses (Technologic Specialization Courses) or in

higher education;

Professional courses: aimed at providing young people with professional

skills for the labor market, as well as enabling them access to technologic

specialization courses (CET) or to higher education;

The completion of secondary education culminates with the attainment of

a secondary studies certificate, and technologic courses, specialized

artistic courses and professional courses, in particular, still provide a level

3 professional qualification.

This education subsystem requires the payment of a low annual fee in public

schools.

HIGHER EDUCATION

The Portuguese higher education system includes university and polytechnic

education.

University education is taught in public, private and cooperative, and concordat

universities, whereas polytechnic education takes place in public, private and

cooperative non-university institutions.

Private and cooperative institutions get recognition in advance from the Ministry of

Science, Technology and Higher Education.

Higher education provides the following academic degrees: Bachelor’s

(Licenciado), Master’s ( Mestre) and Ph.D (Doutor).

The bachelor’s degree is provided by both university and polytechnic

institutions.

The cycle of studies leading to a bachelor’s degree (Licenciado) in polytechnic

institutions has a duration of six semesters of student work, corresponding to 180

ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), and a duration of

seven or eight semesters of student work, corresponding to a training of up to

240 ECTS in those cases foreseen by national or EU legislation.

The cycle of studies leading to a bachelor’s degree in universities has a duration of

six to eight semesters of student work, corresponding to a training of 180-240

ECTS. In the first cycle of studies at universities or polytechnic institutions, the

bachelor’s degree is provided to those who have attained the minimum

established number of ECTS through the successful completion in all courses that

are part of the bachelor’s degree curriculum.

The master’s degree (Mestre) is provided by both university and polytechnic

institutions.

Page 15: RECOGNITION QUALIFICATIONS

15

The cycle of studies leading to a master’s degree has a duration of three to four

semesters of student work and corresponds to an education and training of 90 to

120 ECTS.

In polytechnic institutions, the cycle of studies leading to a master’s degree must

ensure, for the most part, the acquisition of a professional specialization. In

universities, the cycle of studies leading to a master’s degree must ensure, for the

most part, the acquisition of an academic specialization that is based on research

activities or that expands professional skills.

In universities, the master’s degree can also be attained upon completion of an

integrated cycle of studies with a duration between 10 and 12 semesters of

student work which corresponds to a training of 300 to 360 ECTS, and it is valid in

those cases where the duration to have access to a specific professional activity is

established by certain EU legislation or is common practice in the EU. In this cycle

of studies, the bachelor’s degree is granted through the attainment of the 180

ECTS corresponding to the first six semesters of student work.

In the 2nd cycle of studies in university of polytechnic institutions, the master’s

degree is provided to those who successfully complete all courses that are part of

the curriculum program, and upon approval of the public defense of a dissertation,

work project or internship report.

The Doctoral degree (Doutor) is conferred by university institutions to those who

obtained approval in the program’s coursework, if any, and in the public defense

of the thesis.

Higher education institutions can also offer technologic specialization courses that

are qualified as post-secondary education.

CHART OF THE PORTUGUESE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM

(*) Exception being made in cases where the access to a certain professional activity requires

a training ranging from 210 to 240 ECTS.

(**) Exceptionally, and without failing to ensure the satisfaction of all requirements related to

the characterization of the goals of the degree and the conditions for obtaining it, the cycle of

studies leading to a master’s degree in a certain specialty may have 60 credits, as long as

there is evidence of a stable practice and internationally consolidated in that specialty.

(***) The master's degree may be conferred after an integrated cycle of studies in cases

where, in order to have access to a particular professional activity, that duration a) is

established by EU legislation and b) results from a stable and consolidated practice in the EU.

POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Technologic Specialization Courses (CET) are post-secondary education and

training that aim to provide a level 4 professional qualification by combining a

secondary, general or professional training, and present the following

characteristics:

a high-level technical training;

provide a qualification that includes a high level of knowledge and skills;

no need to master the scientific grounds of the different areas being

taught;

acquisition of knowledge and skills that enable the trainee to take on

conception and/or supervision and/or management roles, in an

autonomous and independent way.

These courses allow students to enter the labor market and/or to pursue their

studies in higher education.

The approval in a CET confers a Technologic Specialization Diploma (DET) and

access to a Professional Competence Certificate - CAP- issued in the framework of

the National System of Professional Certification.

Page 21: RECOGNITION QUALIFICATIONS

21

In Portugal, the legislation concerning the recognition of foreign qualifications is

comprised in two legal documents:

Decree-law n.º 341/2007 of October 12th creates a new regime of

recognition of foreign academic degrees with identical level, goals and nature as

the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees awarded by Portuguese higher

education institutions and allowing the same rights to those holding these

academic degrees. This new regime relies on the mutual trust principle, thus

replacing, when applicable, the equivalence process based on the scientific

reassessment of the work carried out by the holder while pursuing the foreign

degree, as stated in decree-law n.º 283/83 of June 21st.

A Commission for the Recognition of Foreign Degrees was created under this new

regime to define through generic deliberations the number of degrees covered by

this regime.

Until now, the foreign academic degrees that have been considered under the

above mentioned decree-law, are those listed in the annex to this guide and

published on the official website www.dges.mctes.pt.

Decree-law n.º 283/83 of June 21st

Decree-law n.º 341/2007of October 12th

Page 23: RECOGNITION QUALIFICATIONS

23

Decree-law n.º 283/83 of June 21st regulates the equivalence/recognition

process of foreign higher education qualifications.

Under this decree-law, the decision on granting or denying equivalence /

recognition is the sole responsibility of the higher education institutions.

The request for equivalence to bachelor’s degree (licenciado) must be instructed

institution that provides courses in the same area or in related areas.

The request for equivalence to master’s degree (mestre) must be instructed in a

proper model and addressed to the university rector or the president of the

polytechnic institute to which the school or educational unit belongs and through

which the master's degree is conferred in the same area and specialty.

The request for equivalence to doctoral degree (doutor) must be instructed in a

proper model and addressed to the university rector to which the school or

educational unit belongs and through which the doctoral degree is conferred in the

same area and specialty.

Where there are significant differences in the curricular structures, academic

recognition is provided upon request to the rector of the university or the

president of the polytechnic institute.

The models for application of foreign higher qualifications are set out in Ministerial

Order nº. 1071/83 of December 29th, namely:

model nº. 524 - equivalence to the Doctoral degree;

model nº. 525 - equivalence to the Master’s degree;

model nº. 526 - equivalence to Bachelor’s degree or to non-degree

higher education courses;

model nº. 527 - recognition of qualifications;

IV. Professional recognition

Page 29: RECOGNITION QUALIFICATIONS

29

Professional recognition is regulated by Directive 2005/36/EC of the European

Parliament and the Council, of September 7th, on the recognition of professional

qualifications, and it is part of the legislative consolidation process and flexibility

of labor markets by fostering a better liberalization of service provision and a

simplification of administrative procedures within the professional recognition.

This scheme applies to EU citizens and nationals of non-EU members that are

signatories to the EEA (European Economic Area) namely, Liechtenstein, Norway,

Iceland and Switzerland. It also applies to the recognition of qualifications

obtained outside the EU, by a citizen of an EU member state.

It should be noted that this regime only concerns the regulated professions, i.e.,

activity or set of activities, in which access, taking up or modus operandis are

directly or indirectly, dependent on the possession of certain professional

qualifications by virtue of laws, regulations or administrative provisions.

For detailed information on this subject, particularly on the regulated professions

in Portugal and their competent authorities, please check the website

http://portal.iefp.pt

Nationals of countries not covered by the provisions of this Directive shall, firstly,

request academic recognition of their qualifications under the existing legislation

on this matter in order to

gain access to the labor

market in Portugal.
