For the third consecutive year, Engineering Physics and Aerospace Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico are two of the courses with the highest grades of the last students admitted at national level. Engineering Physics had a 18.90 average grade and Aerospace Engineering 18.35, thus setting a new record when compared to last year’s outstanding results. But the good results achieved by Técnico go further. There are two more courses among the national top 10: Applied Mathematics and Computation (18.35) and Biomedical Engineering (18.10).
The single student enrolled in the Civil Engineering course at the Faculty of Exact Sciences and Engineering – University of Madeira (UM) had an average grade of 18.94, which lead the UM to rank 1st. Industrial Engineering and Management at the University of Porto (18.63) ranked 4th. The medicine course at Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICBAS) – University of Porto (18.22) didn’t reach the podium and ranks below the Bioengineering course at ICBAS.
