Masters
Master’s Degree
(2nd study cycle)
You may apply for a Master or an Integrated Master (2nd study cycle) programme under the following conditions:
- If you have completed an undergraduate or an integrated masters (1st study cycle) at Instituto Superior Técnico, even though with no scientific consistency with the course of the 2nd study cycle that you wish to apply to;
- Hold an undergraduate degree (1st study cycle) in the field of Science and Technology (except in the case of the 2nd study cycle in Architecture which requires a 1st study cycle programme in Architecture);
- Hold either an academic, scientific or professional curriculum verifying the capability to complete the master’s programme you are applying to.
Tuition fees
National and EU Students*: The annual tuition fees of Técnico’s study programmes, approved by the General Council of ULisboa, are set between 825.00€ and 2500.00€, according to the characteristics of each course. Integrated masters’ tuition fees are 697,00€, the same as for undergraduate degrees.
*Students from countries outside the European Union must apply as an International Student. Thus, the tuition fee is different.
Selection Criteria
Students applying for a master’s or an integrated master’s of a 2nd study cycle at IST, the admission decisions and selection are the responsibility of the coordinator of the course you’re considering applying to, with the following criteria:
- Scientific affinity between the acquired course and the 2nd cycle programme that you are applying for;
- Nature of the academic degree earned;
- Academic performance on the attended course.
Students with Direct Access
Following the transition to the New Teaching Model for the 2021/22 school year, students who have finished an undergradute programme at Técnico within the periods defined in the Regulation for Admission to Masters Programmes, article 1, for which the Masters degree they are applying for is considered a continuation course, have direct access to that Master programme.
