More than 11 thousand places available for the 2nd phase of access to higher education

SIC Notícias1 September 2026 at 11:35

The second phase of access to higher education in Portugal has more than 11 thousand places available for candidates who were not placed in the first phase or who wished to apply again. This phase represents an additional opportunity for students looking to enter Portuguese higher education.

Computer Engineering courses and programs at the Polytechnic University of Bragança lead the number of places available in this second phase. This higher education institution in the Trás-os-Montes region stands out as one of the main options for candidates looking for places in this phase of the access process.

In the first phase, the Medicine course exhausted all its available places, which means there are no places in this course for the second phase. This situation is common in courses with high demand and strong entry competitiveness.

Interested students participating in the second phase must submit their application within the deadline established by the entities responsible for access to higher education in Portugal.
