Diplomas and Certificates

After completing a study programme, each student must request the documents certifying their academic degree, so that the academic services can confirm all grades and the closure of the cycle, and issue the requested documents.

Note: Request of documentation will only be possible once all grades have been registered on the Fénix platform (visible in the Student > Curriculum menu).

1. Degree Registration Certificate

   The award of academic degrees is ensured by the issuance of a Degree Registration Certificate, which is the first document the student should request. These documents may be issued in Portuguese or in English.
