Admission Requirements

The following qualifications are required for admission to the selection process:

- Degree in Medicine and Surgery, with a license to practice the profession;
- Specialization in Radiology or Diagnostic Radiology (preferred qualification).

Admission to the Master's program will be based on an evaluation of educational/professional qualifications, with priority given to specialists in Diagnostic Radiology or Radiology. Qualifications will be evaluated based on published scientific work, with emphasis on radiology and neuroradiology. The candidate's educational and professional CV will be evaluated based on their skills in radiology. 

The evaluation of qualifications provides for a maximum of 22 points attributable to each candidate, distributed as follows:
- Degree thesis in a relevant discipline: maximum 3 points
- Specialization in Radiodiagnostics/Radiology: maximum 5 points
- Relevant scientific publications: maximum 2 points
- Professional curriculum vitae: maximum 12 points

If the number of applications exceeds the available places, an individual oral interview will be held, the maximum score of which corresponds to an additional 8 points.

There is a minimum threshold of 8 points (without interview) and 10 points (with interview) below which the candidate may be deemed unsuitable to attend the Master's program.
