Degree programmes
When you apply to higher education for the first time in Portugal, you enrol in an undergraduate 1st cycle study programme (known as "licenciatura") or in an integrated master programme (known as "mestrado integrado"). This difference is related with the scientific and professional orientations of the degree programmes.
