University of Porto

Official up.pt confirms a dedicated "Special Call for Applications for International Students" (3 intakes/year from January, ~712 vacancies for 2026/27) requiring Portuguese at an "independent user" level (oral test via video call if undocumented). No numeric GPA/grade cutoff found in this pass despite a solid official source — likely evaluated per-programme; re-verify against up.pt for the specific course.

IELTS 6.0 cited in secondary sources for University of Porto 2nd-cycle (master's) admission; official up.pt pages confirm admission is faculty-specific (each school sets its own procedure) but a confirmed official numeric figure was not directly located in this pass.

Official up.pt: requires a Master's degree (or legal equivalent), OR a Bachelor's with a particularly relevant academic career, OR recognised academic/professional experience demonstrating research capability — evaluated per faculty. IELTS >=6.0 cited as U.Porto's general admission floor (Portugal-wide English-taught doctoral programmes more broadly cite 6.5+/TOEFL 90+, so this may understate some faculties' actual bar). Portuguese proficiency (independent-user level) also required; oral test given if undocumented.
