• Those who apply for the tests acquire the right to take them, resulting in a classification

• Those who obtain a pass mark will be able to apply for undergraduate courses and integrated master's degrees taught at facilities belonging to the SOUTH and ISLANDS network that open places for this type of special competition

Applicants using this process will be able to apply simultaneously to the National Competition for Access to Higher Education, provided they have taken the national exams for access to this competitive process.

Calendário de candidatura a Concurso Especial dos estudantes titulares dos cursos de dupla certificação de nível secundário e cursos artísticos especializados

* - ‘Higher Education Institutions of the Southern Network and Islands with vacancies in the 2nd phase - to be defined after completion of the 1st phase’.

Theoretical or practical tests for assessing knowledge and skills make it possible to assess the ability of holders of dual certification courses in secondary education and specialised artistic courses to enter the cycle of studies to which they apply. These tests have a weighting of 30% in the final ranking.

The tests take place on the same day and at the same time in all institutions of the SOUTH and ISLANDS network. 

The test consists of 2 components:

• Portuguese Language and Culture - held by all candidates - 1 hour duration
• Specific Component - to be done by applicants depending on the double certification course/specialised artistic course they have completed and the degree course to which they intend to apply - duration of one hour

The marking scale for each component goes from 0 to 100.

• The final mark is obtained by calculating the overall weighted average, with each component weighted at 50%
  Any applicant whose overall mark is less than 100 will be classed as “Fail”.
   
• After taking the tests, you must submit an application on the DGES website. The date for this has yet to be determined.
   

Formula use to calculate results of applications: 
FM = 0.5 * Coursework + 0.3 * Theoretical exam mark + 0.2 * Final exam mark 
 

Obs.: If you want to apply for a degree that does not appear on this list, you will have to sit the entrance exams required for your desired course in order to be able to apply through the National Competition for Access to Higher Education. 

Registration for the tests is done online using the registration form. The documents you will need to upload are:

• Copy of identification document
• Tax Identification Number
• Evidence of completion (or attendance if not yet completed) of the dual certification course in secondary education and specialised artistic courses awarding a level 4 qualification under the National Qualifications Framework.
• Payment of fees to the amount of 25 euros
