Bachelor's Programs

Step 1 – Apply to the Mathematics exam (a written exam to access the Over 23 special contest) through the online form made available in this page.

To apply to the Mathematics Exam, candidates should submit their application through the online form available in this page and pay an application fee of 60 €. 

The Over 23 Mathematics exam covers the same topics of the Portuguese Mathematics A course. On the day of the exam, candidates will have to bring their ID/Passport with them. Otherwise, they won’t be able to take the exam. 

The candidates who obtain less than ten values (out of 20) on the Mathematics exam will not be considered for the Over 23 special contest.  

Step 2 – The candidates approved on the Mathematics Exam confirm their application to the Over 23 Special Contest by paying another application fee of 70 €. They will occupy the vacancies available in accordance with the following criteria:

A.    Grade on the Mathematics Exam – 80 %
B.    Curriculum Vitae – 5 %
C.    Motivation letter – 5 %
D.    English Knowledge (minimum of B2), demonstrated by a British Council certificate or equivalent (the certificate should state the level attained according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) – 10 %.

The final list of approved candidates will be published at Nova SBE and at this website.  

All the decisions are communicated on our website, and all possible questions will be emailed to each candidate by email, individually. Candidates are responsible for checking their emails regularly during this process (including spam and the trash folder).

If candidates do not receive any communication from the School, they should send an email or call the Admissions Office. Admitted candidates who do not confirm their acceptance by the stipulated deadline will lose their place.
