The University of Évora is the second oldest in Portugal with a wide and comprehensive offer of higher education courses. Its own history, closely linked to the history of the city of Évora, combines the values of tradition and teaching excellence.


Evora, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is located in the heart of Alentejo and has a relaxed pace, where every corner is a place to discover, making it the right choice for students entering our University.

The University of Évora offers several Doctorates (3rd cycle) with a duration between 3 and 4 years, which confer the degree of Doctor. Some doctorates include a curricular component (doctoral course which includes a set of curricular units). The doctoral degree is conferred by passing the defense of the thesis in public examinations and of the course units if the doctoral program includes them. Besides conferring the Doctoral Degree Diploma, if the doctorate includes a doctoral course with 30 or more ECTS, it also confers a diploma for the completion of the curricular component (course that does not confer an academic degree).

You can consult the University of Évora Portal, the doctorates offered by the University of Évora and the Announcement of the opening of each one of them (conditions of access and entry, number of places, fees, Diplomas awarded and other information), as well as the respective Study Plan and the syllabus of each of the course units in the doctorates where applicable.
