12. Evaluation Criteria

Pre-experience MSc - daytime programmes


Master in Economics | Master in Economics of Business and Strategy |
Master in Finance | Master in Management

1. Candidates are ranked in descending order according to their Application Score (P*);
2. Two components count towards calculating the Application Score (P*):
a. the gross application score (PB);
b. the score earned on the GMAT, when available;
3. The gross application score (PB) is calculated as the average of two components – the Curricular Component
(CC) and the Extracurricular Component (CE) – with weights of 0.9 and 0.1, respectively:

PB= 0.9xCC+0.1xCE

4. The Curricular Component (CC) is equal to the final grade of the bachelor’s degree (CL), expressed on a scale
of 10 to 20 and rounded to the closest whole unit, increased or decreased by a factor (k1) representing the
relevance of the previous training and by a factor (k2) representing the quality of the previous training (as
measured by the position of the school where the bachelor’s degree was earned in the most recent
Webometrics ranking):

CC=CL*k1*k2, where 0.9≤k1≤1.1 e 0.9≤k2≤1.1

5. The relevance of the previous training shall be based on a comparative analysis of the curricular structure of
the bachelor’s program and the characteristics and content of the cycle of studies being applied for, also
considering other complementary training, whether it conferred a degree or not.
6. When candidates do not hold a bachelor's degree, CL will be the average, rounded to the next whole unit, of
all the completed curricular units listed on the certificate accompanying the application;
7. The Curricular Component is limited to a maximum of 20 points.
8. The Extracurricular Component, scored on a scale of 10 to 20, varies according to the nature, relevance and
duration of the extracurricular activities the candidate participated in as a student, including, but not limited
to, attending foreign language courses and participating in research activities.
9. The Application Score (P*) is calculated in the following way:
a. If the student has earned a GMAT score equal to or greater than 600:
𝑮𝑴𝑨𝑻
𝑷∗ = 𝑴𝒂𝒙 {𝟏, 𝟏 ∗ (𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ ∗ 𝟐𝟎 + 𝟎, 𝟓 ∗ 𝑷𝑩) ; 𝑷𝑩}
𝟖𝟎𝟎
b. In all other cases: 𝑷∗ = 𝑷𝑩
Tie-breaking criteria:
Date (day and time – hh:mm:ss) of application submission, giving preference to the earliest-submitted
application.

In the case of the Master in Economics, the following also applies:

- Independently of the score earned upon the application of the aforementioned criteria, candidates may be
immediately excluded for an absolute lack of application merit or, to evaluate the absolute merit of the
applications, the Scientific Commission may conduct interviews. The interviews may be in-person or by e-
meeting.

- The call for the interview will be sent by e-mail to the address supplied by the candidate on the online
application form.

- Interviews will be conducted for candidates whose applications, upon careful consideration of all submitted
materials, leave doubts as to their absolute merit, doubts that may impact their motivation and the
adequacy of their profile to the Master in Economics - namely at the level of deepening economic and
quantitative models and the ability to develop concrete subjects of Economics with the knowledge hitherto
acquired in higher education.

- Following the interview, the candidate will be “admitted” or “excluded due to a lack of absolute merit”. In
the case of admission, the score will be a result of the selection and placement criteria described above.

- Failure to appear for the interview the applicant has been called to is grounds for exclusion.

- Exclusion for lack of absolute merit of the application must be justified by, at least, one of the following
arguments:

i. Inadequacy of the profile for the Master in Economics, meaning that the candidate does not
demonstrate the capacity to develop concrete topics of Economics or that they did not acquire,
during higher education, a set of minimum requirements at the level of basic training in Economics
and/or quantitative methods;

ii. Lack of essential elements to evaluate the student’s academic curriculum;

iii. Insufficient knowledge of the languages in which the course is taught, i.e., Portuguese or English.
Specialized MSc - evening programme

1. Candidates are ranked in descending order according to their Application Score (P*);
2. Two components count towards calculating the Application Score (P*):
a. the gross application score (PB);
b. the score earned on the GMAT, when available;
3. The gross application score (PB) is calculated as the average of the Curricular (CC), Extracurricular (CE) and
Professional components, in accordance with the following formula:

PB= 0.7*(0.9xCC+0.1xCE) +0.3*CP

4. The Curricular Component (CC) is equal to the final grade of the bachelor’s degree (CL), expressed on a scale
of 10 to 20 and rounded to the closest whole unit, increased or decreased by a factor (k1) representing the
relevance of the previous training and by a factor (k2) representing the quality of the previous training (as
measured by the position of the school where the bachelor’s degree was earned in the most recent
Webometrics ranking):
CC=CL*k1*k2, where 0.9≤k1≤1.1 e 0.9≤k2≤1.1
