Price guide

Portugal universities — simple 3-tier price guide

A student-friendly comparison of annual tuition and application costs for non-EU international students.

Reference: 2026/27 research snapshot. Prices vary by programme, nationality category and faculty. Always confirm the selected course before payment.

How to use this guide

Choose the degree level first, then the price tier. Each line shows what you need for an initial decision: location, annual tuition, application cost, likely first-year university cost and one important note.

  • Tier 1 — Affordable: up to €2,500 / year
  • Tier 2 — Mid-range: €2,501 to €5,000 / year
  • Tier 3 — High-cost: above €5,000 / year

Special health degrees (Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary) can cost far more than a university’s normal price. They are flagged separately so students are not misled.

EU vs non-EU — do not mix the numbers

EU/EEA students at public universities usually pay the national propina cap (about €697/year). Non-EU students pay a differentiated international fee set by each institution — typically €1,200–€7,000+ for normal programmes, and far more for Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Medicine. This guide is built for the non-EU international fee track.

Living costs matter as much as tuition

Interior cities (Covilhã, Évora, Vila Real, Beja, Bragança) often cost €450–€700/month for a student budget. Lisbon and Porto are higher. A mid-fee university in Covilhã can still beat a cheaper tuition figure in Lisbon once rent is included.

Bachelor’s degrees

Tiers use the normal annual tuition for non-EU international students. Where a university charges different prices by subject, the range is shown.

Institutions needing exact programme-price confirmation

These are real options, but they should not sit confidently in one student price tier until the selected 2026/27 programme tuition and application fees are confirmed.

Institution Location Why it is not placed in one simple tier yet
Universidade Católica Portuguesa Braga, Porto, Lisbon, Viseu Prices differ greatly by faculty; health programmes are usually expensive.
Universidade Lusíada Lisbon, Porto, Famalicão Course-specific fee tables.
Universidade Europeia Lisbon Often provides programme quotations rather than one transparent annual rate.
Universidade da Maia Porto district Application fee known; annual tuition still needs course verification.
ISEIT Almada and Viseu Current international tuition needs confirmation.
Egas Moniz University Institute Setúbal district Health programmes have course-specific prices and extra selection fees.
ISMAT Faro / Portimão Programme-level international price needs confirmation.
UTAD Vila Real 2026/27 tuition maintained from prior year; exact international course rates need extraction. Strong interior living-cost advantage.
University of Lisbon Lisbon Very wide faculty range, from lower-cost programmes to health degrees near €18,000.

Correct student workflow: choose degree level → choose budget tier → choose subject → verify the exact programme price and application deadline. Do not begin with a long district list.

Extra research notes (2026)

  • Public polytechnics such as Setúbal (IPS) often publish among the lowest non-health Bachelor’s fees (~€1,350/year in research notes) — strong Tier 1 candidates when Portuguese B2 is realistic.
  • University of Évora publicly states €2,500/year for many international Bachelor’s and Master’s tracks, with possible Merit / Cooperation scholarships that can reduce the bill toward the national rate.
  • University of Beira Interior (UBI) is repeatedly among the best Master’s value points (~€1,200–€1,500 for many international Master’s; standard Bachelor’s near €5,000; CPLP/OEI reductions where eligible).
  • Distance-learning Universidade Aberta remains the cheapest verified campus-optional Bachelor’s path (~€696.60 for 60 ECTS) when online study is acceptable.
  • Always open the university’s current international fee regulation (tabela / regulamento de propinas) for the exact programme before paying application fees.
