Secondary education

higher education studies.

which is available for those who did not complete secondary
education at the usual age of attendance (up to age 18). .
Recurrent secondary education
General courses and technical courses are provided in recurrent
secondary education in several fields. Technical courses, apart from the
diploma of secondary education, also lead to a level 3 vocational qualification.
Recurrent secondary education has the same objectives and leads to
the same diploma as regular secondary education, although it adopts
plans and methods appropriate for its target users. .
Vocational courses are provided in vocational training, a
special type of schooling, for those who have completed basic
education.
Vocational training
These courses last for 3 years and are administered in vocational schools
controlled by the Ministry of Education.
Vocational courses prepare the pupil for a professional activity
and lead to a level 3 vocational qualification certificate and a
diploma equivalent to the diploma of secondary education.
Post-secondary, non-higher courses known as technological
specialisation courses are taught in vocational training, mainly to those who
have the diploma of secondary education and a level 3 vocational qualification
and who want to acquire more scientific and technological knowledge in the field
of their basic vocational training. These courses also develop personal and
professional skills appropriate for working in the vocational qualification chosen
by the student.
Post-secondary, non-higher education
These courses last a total of 1200 to 1560 hours, including training in a work
context of 360 to 720 hours, and on completion a diploma in a technological
specialisation is attributed certifying level 4 vocational qualification.
Access
Access to higher education is subject to number restrictions
(numerus clausus) and admission is by competition.
Students may apply who hold a diploma of secondary education or
the equivalent, and who meet all the demands laid down by
law, particularly exams in specific subjects in which minimum
marks must be obtained.
Higher education
University education ensures a solid scientific
and cultural preparation and provides technical training
suitable for vocational and cultural work, encouraging the
skills for concept-building, innovation and critical analysis.
University education
a) Licenciado; bachelor’s degree
b ) Mestre; master’s degree
c ) Doutor. PhD or Doctorates degree
University education leads to the following degrees:
This teaching is administered in universities, organised, as laid down in
their statutes, in units that may adopt different names:
e.g. faculty, institute, school, department. University teaching can also be
administered in university colleges that are not integrated in universities,
which are usually specialised.
The national higher education system is fully integrated
into the European Higher Education Area since 2006.
Bologna process - Creates more comparable, compatible
and coherent systems of higher education in Europe. Under
the Lisbon Recognition Convention of the Council of Europe,
degrees and study periods are recognised mutually.
The Bologna Process was a European reform process aimed at establishing a
European Higher Education Area by 2010.
The reform aim was to create by 2010 a higher education system in Europe,
organised in such a way that:
it is easy to move from one country to the other (within the European Higher
Education Area) – for the purpose of further study or employment;
the attractiveness of European higher education is increased so many people
from non-European countries also come to study and/or work in Europe;
the European Higher Education Area provides Europe with a broad, high
quality and advanced knowledge base, and ensures the further development of
Europe as a stable, peaceful and tolerant community.
