Global Academy

Politécnico de Leiria’s Global Academy is an international network of high schools that have signed an international cooperation agreement with Politécnico de Leiria. Based on this agreement, students from these schools are allowed to apply to our study programmes as long as they meet all the higher education entry requirements of their own country.

As members of the Global Academy network, these schools must promote Politécnico de Leiria’s programmes amongst their students and select and guide them through the application process. Global Academy’s students usually apply to Politécnico de Leiria under the International Student Status, but they can also do it under another lawful agreement.
