Regional Economics and Public Policies
Admission Process
The admission process usually takes place once a year, generally in October. There are around 15 posts available, up to 8 for the Regional Development research line and up to 7 for the State, Society and Market research line. The selection is open to any candidate with an undergraduate degree. International applicants need to have proficiency in Portuguese and in English for Specific/Academic Purposes. The applicants are classified in general order for scholarship distribution, prioritizing the best ranked candidates.
The number of scholarships varies from year to year, depending on the availability of funding agencies, so there is no guarantee of scholarships for all accepted applicants. The rules of each selection process are explained in specific calls.
