Católica Lisbon admits to the International MSc in Management for a single September intake and reviews applications in rounds, announcing results by email roughly two weeks after each round closes; a waitlisted file is carried into the next round rather than rejected. Read on 5 September 2026, the admissions page states that applications for the 2026 intake are closed and publishes no dates for the next cycle, so the 2027/28 rounds are not yet available. Two hard rules are published and worth planning around: double-degree applications are only open until the end of February, whatever the final round date, and the Católica TOP+ scholarship must be requested inside the application form itself — there is no separate application and none is accepted afterwards. Because the scholarship budget is allocated on a rolling basis, an early round is worth real money here rather than merely being good practice.
Exact dates for the upcoming intake are confirmed against the school's official admissions page as they are published.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the Católica Lisbon International MSc in Management cost?
The standard three-semester programme totals €16,900 and the four-semester track with an exchange semester totals €19,500, both read off Católica's own fees page on 5 September 2026 in English and Portuguese. The €16,900 breaks down as a €700 annual registration fee plus €10,500 tuition in year one, then €450 registration plus €5,250 for the dissertation semester — so the total already includes the registration fees. The €120 admission fee is separate and non-refundable, and your application is not considered until it is paid. One rule changes what a scholarship is worth: Católica states that scholarships apply only to the tuition lines, which are €15,750 of the €16,900, so registration and the €2,600 exchange-semester fee are payable whatever you are awarded.
When is the Católica Lisbon MiM application deadline?
Católica Lisbon admits for a single September start and reviews applications in rounds, with results emailed roughly two weeks after each round closes and waitlisted files carried into the next one. Read on 5 September 2026, the admissions page says applications for the 2026 intake are closed and publishes no dates for the next cycle, so the 2027/28 rounds are not yet published. Two published rules make an early application worth more than the usual advice implies: double-degree applications close at the end of February whatever the final round date, and the Católica TOP+ scholarship is awarded on a rolling basis, with the school stating that funds may be allocated before the last round closes.
