Do I need to speak Portuguese?
Many bachelor's degrees are taught in Portuguese, often requiring a B1-B2 level. At master's level there is a large choice in English; Portuguese is still a real asset for daily life and jobs.
What budget should I plan?
A total budget estimated at 55,000 to 65,000 TND should be planned, including around 40,000 TND for the blocked account, depending on the applicable requirements. Living costs are generally €700 to €1,000 per month, Lisbon and Porto being the most expensive.
