Rank Program Tuition Profile
1 Nova School of Business and Economics Lisbon (Carcavelos) · FT #4 · $123k €11,900 (EU/EEA) / €13,000 (non-EU/EEA) regular track — 2026/27, the latest published
2 Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics Lisbon · FT #30 · $101k €16,900 total for the standard three-semester programme, inclusive of the €700 + €450 annual registration fees and €10,500 + €5,250 in tuition; €19,500 for the four-semester track with an exchange semester. The €120 admission fee sits outside both totals, and scholarships apply only to the tuition components
3 ISEG Lisbon School of Economics and Management Lisbon · FT #59 EUR 7,800 in total inside the EU and EUR 11,000 outside it, for the 2026/2027 intake — split across two academic years as EUR 5,800 + EUR 2,000 and EUR 7,500 + EUR 3,500. ISEG labels the table 'These are provisional tuition fees for 2026/2027, subject to confirmation by the University of Lisbon statutory bodies', so the figure is the latest published and is provisional at source. Two payments sit outside tuition: a EUR 50 application fee per course, and a first instalment of EUR 700 (EU) or EUR 1,400 (non-EU) paid at registration and deducted from the first year
4 Católica Porto School of Business and Economics Porto €11,676 in total for the 2026/27 intake — €10,896 in tuition (15 monthly instalments of €726.40: €7,264 in the first year, €3,632 in the second) plus the €780 enrolment fee that covers the whole two-year period, school insurance and the student card. The €75 application fee sits outside that total and is free for UCP graduates. That is the latest table Católica Porto publishes and no 2027/28 schedule is published yet; the school states that fees are set annually and that later years will increase, so a 2027/28 applicant should expect a higher figure
5 ISCTE Business School Lisbon €7,350 (EU/EEA, 2026/2027 — latest published)

When are the application deadlines for a MiM in Portugal?
