Accommodation

Students who benefit from the scholarship of the General Directorate of Higher Education (DGES), have priority in the allocation of accommodation.

Undergraduate, master's or integrated master's students who do not benefit from a scholarship can only benefit from accommodation if there are vacancies after the allocation process for first-year students is completed.

The mobility students, international students of 2nd cycle, doctorate, post-doctorate and researchers of institutes associated with U.Porto can benefit from lodging in a university residence.

For this purpose, it is not necessary to attach any documentation. If you wish to add any element that you think is important, you can do it in the field "Other information" field.
