12. Criteria

Pre-experience MSc - daytime programmes

Master in Economics | Master in Economics of Business and Strategy |

Master in Finance | Master in Management

1. Candidates will be ranked in descending order of their Application Classification (P*);

2. Two components are used to calculate the Application Classification (P*):
a. the gross application classification (PB);
b. the score obtained in the GMAT test when it is available, either in the simple "GMAT" format or in the
"GMAT Focus Edition" format;
3. The gross application grade (PB) is calculated as the weighted average of two components - Curricular
Component (CC) and Extracurricular Component (EC) - with weights equal to 0.9 and 0.1 respectively, i.e:
PB= 0.9xCC+0.1xCE
4. The Curricular Component (CC) is the final degree classification (CL), expressed on a scale of 10 to 20 and
rounded to the nearest integer, increased or decreased by a factor (k1) representing the suitability of previous
training for the study cycle to which you are applying and by a factor (k2) representing the quality of previous
training (as measured by the position of the school from which you obtained your degree in the latest available
edition of the Webometrics ranking), i.e.:

CC=CL*k1*k2, where 0.9≤k1≤1.1 and 0.9≤k2≤1.1

5. The adequacy of previous training will be based on a comparative analysis of the curricular structure of the
degree and the characteristics and contents of the cycle of studies to which you are applying, also taking into
account the existence of other complementary training to the degree, whether conferred or not.

10/15
6. In cases where the candidate does not hold a degree, CL will be the average rounded to the nearest integer
of all the curricular units completed and which appear on the declaration/certificate accompanying the
application;
7. The Curricular Component is subject to a ceiling corresponding to 20.
8. The Extracurricular Component, scored on a scale of 10 to 20, variable according to the nature, relevance and
duration of the extracurricular activities in which the candidate participated as a student, including, but not
limited to, attendance at foreign language courses and participation in research activities.
In the case of the Master's in Economics and the Master's in Business Economics and Strategy, only duly
proven extracurricular activities will be taken into account.
In the case of the Master's in Management, only proven language skills will be considered.
9. The Application Classification (P*) is calculated as follows:

a) If the student has obtained a score of 600 or more in the GMAT test:

𝑮𝑴𝑨𝑻
𝑷∗ = 𝑴𝒂𝒙 {𝟏, 𝟏 ∗ (𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ ∗ 𝟐𝟎 + 𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ 𝑷𝑩) ; 𝑷𝑩}
𝟖𝟎𝟎

b) If the student has obtained a score of 555 or higher in the GMAT Focus Edition test:

𝑮𝑴𝑨𝑻
𝑷∗ = 𝑴𝒂𝒙 {𝟏, 𝟏 ∗ (𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ ∗ 𝟐𝟎 + 𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ 𝑷𝑩) ; 𝑷𝑩}
𝟖𝟎𝟓

c) In other cases: 𝑷∗ = 𝑷𝑩

Tie-breaker criteria:
Date (day and time - hh:mm:ss) of submission of the application, with preference being given to the application
that was submitted the earliest.

The following criteria also apply to the Master's in Business Economics and Strategy:
Regardless of the classification obtained by applying the above-mentioned criteria, candidates may be
immediately excluded for lack of absolute merit of their applications due to the unsuitability of their profile
for the Master's Degree in Business Economics and Strategy, namely for not having or not having acquired,
during higher education, a set of requirements considered minimum, in terms of basic training in Business
Economics and Strategy and/or in quantitative methods.

11/15
-Candidates with an Application Classification (P*) of less than 10 will be excluded from the Master's programme
in Business Economics and Strategy.

The following criteria also apply to the Master's Degree in Economics:

- Regardless of the classification obtained by applying the above criteria, candidates may be immediately
excluded for lack of absolute merit of the applications or, in order to assess the absolute merit of the
applications, the Scientific Committee may hold interviews. Interviews may be face-to-face or by telematic
means.

- The invitation to the interview will be sent by e-mail to the e-mail address identified by the candidate in the
online application form.

- Interviews will be held with candidates whose absolute merit, after a careful analysis of all the elements
contained in the application, remains in doubt. These doubts will have an impact on their motivation and the
suitability of their profile for the Master's in Economics - particularly in terms of their in-depth knowledge of
economic and quantitative models and their ability to develop concrete topics in Economics using the
knowledge they have acquired in higher education.

- As a result of the interview, the candidate will either be "admitted" or "excluded for lack of absolute merit".
In the event of admission, the ranking will be based on the selection and ranking criteria described above.

- Failure to attend the interview to which the candidate has been invited is grounds for exclusion.

- Exclusion for lack of absolute merit of the application must be justified by at least one of the following
arguments:

i. Inadequacy of the profile for the Master's in Economics, meaning that the candidate does not
demonstrate the ability to develop concrete topics in Economics or has not acquired, during higher
education, a set of requirements considered to be minimum, in terms of basic training in Economics
and/or quantitative methods;

ii. Lack of essential elements for assessing the academic curriculum;

iii. Insufficient knowledge of the languages in which the programme is taught: Portuguese or English.

iv.

The following tie-breaking criteria also apply to the Master's in Management:

A letter of motivation in which the candidate explains the suitability of their profile for a Master's degree in
Management and pre-experience, and their availability to attend the course in person and full-time.

12/15
 Specialised MSc - evening programme

Master in Modelling, Data Analysis and Decision Support Systems (Data Analytics)
1. Candidates will be ranked in descending order of their Application Classification (P*);
2. Two components are used to calculate the Application Classification (P*):
a. the gross application classification (PB);
b. the score obtained on the GMAT test, either the "GMAT Exam" version or the "GMAT Focus Editions"
version, if applicable
3. The gross application classification (PB) is calculated taking into account the Curricular (CC), Extracurricular
(CE) and Professional (CP) components according to the following formula:

PB= Max (0.75*(0.9xCC+0.1xCE)+0.25*CP; (0.9xCC+0.1xCE))

4. The Curricular Component (CC) is the final degree classification (CL), expressed on a scale of 10 to 20 and
rounded to the nearest integer, increased or decreased by a factor (k1) representing the suitability of previous
training for the study cycle to which you are applying and by a factor (k2) representing the quality of previous
training (as measured by the position of the school from which you obtained your degree in the latest available
edition of the Webometrics ranking), i.e.:

CC=CL*k1*k2

Where 0.5 k1 1.1 and 0.5 k2 1.1

5. The adequacy of previous training will be based on a comparative analysis of the curricular structure of the
degree and the characteristics and contents of the cycle of studies to which you are applying, also taking into
account the existence of other complementary training to the degree, whether or not it has a degree;
6 In cases where the candidate does not hold a degree, CL will be the average, rounded to the nearest integer,
of all the curricular units completed and which appear on the certificate accompanying the application;
7. The Extracurricular Component, scored on a scale of 10 to 20, varying according to the nature, relevance and
duration of the extracurricular activities in which the candidate participated as a student, including, but not
limited to, attendance at an English language course attested by a certificate and participation in research
activities. All activities mentioned in the curriculum must be accompanied by supporting documents.
8. The Professional Component, scored on a scale of 10 to 20, gives prominence to experience in professional
activities linked to forecasting, data analysis or decision support, as well as professional activities in the areas
of computer science involving programming as factors of preference. Professional activities and their duration
must be described in detail in the CV and accompanied by supporting documents.

9. The GMAT score, hereinafter referred to as GMATf, corresponds to the "GMAT Focus Edition" score. The
"GMAT Exam" score is converted to the GMATf score following the conversion table available at:

https://www.gmac.com/gmat-other-assessments/about-the-gmat-focus-edition/exam-scores#tab4

and opting for the higher score, for example, 790 on the GMAT Exam is converted into GMAtf= 805.

10. Any letters of recommendation or motivation will not be taken into account for the purposes of selection.
13/15
11. The Application Classification (P*) is calculated as follows:

a) If the student has a GMATf score of 565 or higher:

𝑮𝑴𝑨𝑻𝒇
𝑷∗ = 𝑴𝒂𝒙 {𝟏, 𝟏 ∗ (𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ ∗ 𝟐𝟎 + 𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ 𝑷𝑩) ; 𝑷𝑩}
𝟖𝟎𝟓

b) In other cases:

𝑷∗ = 𝑷𝑩

Note: The Master's programme allows, under certain conditions, the award of the European Master in Official
Statistics (EMOS) label. Candidates interested in pursuing this programme should indicate this in the "Additional
information relevant to the application" field on the application form.

Tie-breaker criteria:

Date (day and time - hh:mm:ss) of submission of the application, with preference being given to the application
that was submitted the earliest.

Law no. 37/2006, of 9 August, namely:
i) The spouse of a Union citizen;
14/15
ii) The partner with whom a Union citizen lives in a de facto union, constituted in accordance with the law, or with
whom the Union citizen has a permanent relationship duly certified by the competent authority of the member
state where he or she resides;
iii) A direct descendant who is under 21 years of age or who is a dependant of a Union citizen, as well as a spouse
or partner within the meaning of the previous point;
(iv) a person in the direct ascending line who is a dependant of a Union citizen, as well as a spouse or partner within
the meaning of point (ii);
- When a student has two or more nationalities and one of them is Portuguese, only that nationality counts.
- If a student with two or more nationalities, which does not include Portuguese nationality, has the nationality of
another Member State of the European Union and of a non-EU country, they can choose one of them.
- In the case provided for in the previous paragraph, if you opt for non-EU nationality, you will retain the status of
international student until the end of the study cycle in which you are initially enrolled or to which you are
transferring, even if, while attending the study cycle, you are granted the status of equal rights and duties under
an international treaty between the Portuguese State and the State of which you are a national.
- The provisions of the previous paragraph do not apply to international students who acquire the nationality of a
member state of the European Union after enrolling.
- The cessation of the application of international student status as a result of the provisions of the previous
paragraph takes effect in the academic year following the date of proof of acquisition of nationality."
