The School of Economics and Management of the University of Porto (FEP) has launched the first call of the application process for bachelor degrees (special application process for international students), master’s, and doctoral programmes for the 2025-2026 academic year. A total of 20 programmes are available in various fields of economics and management, some of which are taught entirely in English, reflecting the school’s commitment to global education, and are ranked in prestigious international rankings.

Applications for continuous and specialised master’s programmes in economics, management, and finance are open until 13th February. These cover a wide range of specific topics, including the environment, management, strategy, accounting, internationalisation, innovation, marketing, human resources, health, business administration, and decision support systems.

The continuous master’s programmes continue to be recognised internationally, having achieved prominent positions in the prestigious 2024 Financial Times rankings, which assess the leading master’s programmes in these fields worldwide. The Master’s in Management ranked 70th in the “Masters in Management” ranking, standing out as the best in Portugal for academic return on investment, career progression, and gender equality, while the Master’s in Finance, ranked 55th, was considered the best in Portugal for academic return on investment and gender equality.

The application period for doctoral programmes in economics and management will run until 27th February. These programmes, which are fully taught in English, are recognised for their academic excellence and international scope.

On this date, the first phase of the special application process for admission to bachelor degrees in economics and management, exclusively for international students (i.e., anyone who is not a Portuguese citizen or a national of another European Union member state), will also close. These programmes provide solid academic training with strong links to the business world and high employability.

With a diverse and highly regarded educational offering, FEP strengthens its prominent position in both the national and international higher education landscape. Applications for the upcoming academic year represent a unique opportunity for students to develop exceptional skills and join a global network of highly qualified professionals.
