Doctoral School

The Técnico Doctoral School aggregates transversal information related to doctoral programs, including transversal skills, training opportunities, internships, teaching, applications, funding, and resources for doctoral students.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition, fees, and school insurance are set and published by Técnico. Consultation should be done on the official page of the Postgraduate Area. In the dual degree regime, when the student is enrolled full-time at IST and CMU, tuition fees are payable at both institutions; when the path is entirely at IST, fees are only payable at this institution.
