Applications for the PhD Fast Track are open until September 2025. This pioneering initiative in Portugal is tailored for a full-time 5-year period (10 semesters) of MSc + PhD, shortening the overall duration of the traditional MSc + PhD combination by a year.

The Técnico PhD Fast Track is open to top-performing students from any institution, national or international, who finish the 3rd year of their undergraduate programme during the current academic year or are enrolled in the 1st year of a master’s programme at Técnico. Top performing students are those who have obtained an “A-Level” classification (on the ECTS grading system, this corresponds to the grades obtained by the best 10% of the course) or a final classification of 17/20 in their undergraduate programme.
