UMinho opens enrollment for Over 23 years old

Mais Guimarães28 August 2026 at 12:33

The University of Minho opened enrollment for the preparation course aimed at candidates Over 23 years old. The initiative aims to give a new opportunity to adults who, for different reasons, did not previously have an academic path that allowed them to access higher education, enabling them to prepare to enter a bachelor's degree or other higher education course.

The course includes the mandatory subject of Portuguese Language and a specific subject, chosen according to the area of studies the candidate intends to apply for. Passing and grading obtained in the course allows candidates to be exempted, in the same year, from taking the Portuguese Language and specific subject exams required in the special admission process for Over 23 years old.

Classes took place in after-work hours, between 7pm and 10pm, during two days per week. The course will begin on October 12, 2026 and continues until April 2027, thus covering a complete academic period.

Enrollment takes place exclusively between September 1 and 11, so interested parties should timely consult the access conditions and application procedures available on the official UMinho page dedicated to this course.

A iniciativa procura dar uma nova oportunidade a adultos que, por diferentes razões, não tiveram anteriormente um percurso escolar que lhes permitisse chegar ao ensino superior, permitindo-lhes preparar o acesso a uma licenciatura ou outro curso superior. O curso pretende valorizar os conhecimentos e competências adquiridos pelos candidatos e aumentar as suas possibilidades de ingresso na universidade.

A formação inclui Língua Portuguesa, disciplina obrigatória, e uma disciplina específica, escolhida de acordo com a área de estudos a que o candidato pretende candidatar-se. A aprovação e classificação obtida no curso permitem dispensar, nesse mesmo ano, a realização das provas de Língua Portuguesa e da disciplina específica exigidas no âmbito do concurso especial para Maiores de 23 anos.

As aulas decorrerão em regime pós-laboral, entre as 19h00 e as 22h00, durante dois dias por semana. O curso terá início a 12 de outubro de 2026 e prolonga-se até abril de 2027.

As inscrições decorrem exclusivamente entre 1 e 11 de setembro, pelo que os interessados deverão consultar atempadamente todas as condições de acesso e procedimentos de candidatura. Para mais informações, os candidatos podem consultar a página oficial da UMinho dedicada ao Curso de Preparação para Maiores de 23 anos.
