International Student

•  Specific academic qualification
When the candidate holds a Portuguese secondary education degree, the classifications of the higher education entrance exams from the Portuguese system will be considered. When the candidate holds a degree equivalent to the Portuguese secondary education degree it will be used the classification of the exams in the foreign secondary education system considered to be homologous of the entrance exams from the Portuguese system, according to the correspondences annually approved by CNAES. In all remaining situations, the candidate can perform the entrance exams from the Portuguese system as a self proposal student, or perform in ISMT a written exam specific for the course he/she is applying, to which can be added an oral examination. In case of being difficult to the candidate to be in person for the oral test, this one may happen by teleconference, if the jury allows it.
• Knowledge of Portuguese language
Currently all the degrees of ISMT are taught in Portuguese. The Portuguese language knowledge level required is the independent user (level B2 of the European Framework Common Language for Reference). However, the entry of students with level A2 or B1 Portuguese may be possible (see below). Are excused from making documentary evidence of language proficiency the students who:
1. Have the nationality of a country where Portuguese is an official language; 
2. Have lived in a Portuguese-speaking country continuously for the last two years;
3. Have attended secondary school in Portuguese language.
Other candidates must hold an Intermediate Diploma of Portuguese Language Level B2 or any other certificate of knowledge of the Portuguese language level B2 issued by a Portuguese higher education institution. Students who have a Portuguese language knowledge level of B1 or A2 can enter the first year of an ISMT course if they commit themselves to attend an annual course of Portuguese language. Subsequently, the transition to the second academic year of the course is conditional upon the acquisition of the B2 Portuguese language knowledge level.
