Academic System
FCSH students are evaluated based on the work over a semester based on class participation, presentation of written and oral tests and examinations. The result achieved in a subject, whether through continuous assessment or exams, is expressed on a scale from 0 to 20. A pass requires at least 10; however, students who fail may take re-sit examinations.
English Curricula
FCSH offers a multidisciplinary curricular programme taught in English. The programme is designed to broaden learning opportunities at FCSH, enhancing existing curricular offerings to international students and Portuguese students fluent in English.
