Average source completeness across verified programs.
PortugalThis is the only English-taught medicine program in Portugal in this catalog, and it runs the most compressed selection process on the site: applications close on 12 June 2026 and registration closes on 6 July, with a portfolio, internal exams, and a multiple mini-interview packed into the eighteen days between. Tuition is billed monthly — €2,435 across ten months, €24,350 a year.
The published international second-phase timetable is unusually dense. Applications open 23 February 2026 at 09:00 and close 12 June at 23:59. The motivation letter and portfolio are due 14 June. Internal exams run 16 to 18 June. The multiple mini-interview is on 19 June. Final documents and grades are due 22 to 24 June, results land on 30 June, and registration runs 30 June to 6 July 2026.
That shape has a practical consequence. There is no version of this application you complete gradually over the spring — everything that decides the outcome happens in one three-week block in June, and it happens after most other European deadlines have passed. If Católica is your first choice you will already know your position elsewhere; if it is your fallback, it is a fallback that resolves very late.
Tuition is published as €2,435 per month over ten months, which is €24,350 for the year. On top of that sits a €1,710 enrolment and registration fee in the first year, €1,680 in later years, and a €430 application fee paid before you know the outcome.
Seventy of the 118 medicine programs with a confirmed 2026-2027 fee cost less, putting Católica in the upper third of the catalog against a European median of €17,863. The monthly structure is worth noticing for cash-flow reasons rather than total-cost reasons: ten payments spread across the year is a different funding problem from two semester instalments, and it interacts badly with scholarship disbursements that arrive in lumps.
The published international route asks for a qualification granting access to higher education, plus biology, physics and chemistry, and mathematics examinations at a minimum of 140 out of 200 in each — or Católica's own internal exams sat in English. English is required at CEFR B2. There is a Group A interpersonal-communication prerequisite, a motivation letter and portfolio, and the mini-interview stage.
Read that as three separate gates rather than one. The 140/200 subject floors are absolute, the internal-exam alternative exists for applicants whose national system does not produce comparable results, and the interpersonal-communication prerequisite plus MMI means a candidate who clears every academic bar can still be filtered on the interview.
Portuguese is normally required for patient contact. The degree is a six-year Integrated Master in Medicine from Católica Medical School, taught in Sintra and the wider Lisbon region.
Applicants who interview well, can hit 140/200 in three sciences or sit internal exams in English, can fund roughly €26,500 in the first year once registration and application fees are counted, and can keep a three-week block in June free.
Católica is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools as school F0007778. The ECFMG Sponsor Note was present with the graduation-year field including Current on the audit date, and the Canada sponsor note was present with a pass at school level for the MCC check, verified on 2026-06-11. Confirm the exact issued diploma title against the ECFMG Reference Guide for Medical Education Credentials before enrolment — an Integrated Master title needs checking rather than assuming. None of this guarantees certification, residency, registration, or licensure.
