About University of Algarve
University of Algarve is a university in Europe, ranked #1001 in the QS World University Rankings 2027. We confirm the exact fees, intakes and entry requirements for your profile — free.

Entry requirements
Typically for the more accessible Portuguese universities, a recognised bachelor's in a broadly related subject with a solid pass-level record is the main academic requirement, and a three-year Indian degree is normally accepted; many run phased intake rounds rather than one competitive deadline. English-taught master's exist but are a limited subset at this level, so confirm the language of instruction before applying — those usually ask around IELTS 6.0-6.5, while Portuguese-taught programmes expect around B2. A medium-of-instruction letter is sometimes accepted in place of a test, but plan for a test score unless the university confirms otherwise in writing. Vibedu confirms the exact requirements for your shortlist, free.

Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, €). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in €, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (32 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from € at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
