Applicants Over 23 Years Old
In the age of globalization, adult learning assumes a relevant importance not only by providing adults with the opportunity to improve their skills, but also by exposing their families, communities and societies to the improvement of their living and working conditions. In this context, the Polytechnic of Leiria has specific mechanisms in place, suitable for assessing the ability of those over 23 years old to attend higher education. The Polytechnic of Leiria does this by requesting proof of the “over 23 years old” preparatory course or through a written or oral evaluation of the applicants.
