Equivalence (Undergraduates)

External equivalence

Students enrolled at ISEG can apply for equivalence of credit for curricular units taken at other educational establishment(s) (must be requested with the necessary documentation).

Requests for accreditation can only be submitted upon admission to a given study cycle, within the established deadlines (see important deadlines).

Credits for curricular units are awarded by the Scientific Council on the proposal of the Accreditation Committee, appointed by the ISEG Scientific Council.

The granting of accreditation will only be analyzed by the Commission in relation to curricular units whose successful completion and syllabus contents are documented by the candidates at the time of application (no accreditation will be granted to subjects/curricular units completed by accreditation).

Once the accreditation of subjects/curricular units taken at another establishment and/or course has been analyzed, the student's enrolment is updated, since at the time of enrolment and/or registration students are enrolled in the 1st curricular year. The curricular year in which students are subsequently placed is proposed by the Accreditation Committee, according to the credits awarded and the transition and precedence rules in force for each course.

At the student's request, credit may be given for training and professional experience obtained, to be considered in the group of electives and up to a maximum of 15% of the total number of credits required to obtain the degree or diploma, within the time limits indicated above.
