IES, I.P. — Instituto para o Ensino Superior (higher education institute)

A new body that, from 2026, is taking over DGES's work: the national admissions round, recognition of qualifications, grants, admissions statistics.

Where you come across it. Applying to university, recognition of a foreign qualification, grants.

Applications still go through the old dges.gov.pt website — the change of name does not affect the deadlines or the rules of the admissions round.
