Over 11,000 spots available in the 2nd phase and there are still places in Medicine

Público1 September 2026 at 10:56

Approximately 4,500 students who were placed in the first phase of the national higher education access contest did not enroll, which allowed places to be freed up for the second phase. This number of dropouts created new opportunities for candidates who were not initially placed.

The available spots in the second phase have risen to more than 11,000 places. This significant increase in availability offers a second chance to students who wished to enter higher education but did not secure a place in the first phase.

Among the still available spots, places in Medicine stand out. This course, which is frequently very sought after by Portuguese students, still has open positions in this phase of the contest, allowing candidates with good grades to try a new opportunity.

Interested candidates can check the complete list of available spots for the second phase, in order to identify the institutions and courses where there are still unfilled places.
