Abstract(s)
The law-decree 64/2006 allows mature students older than 23 years (M23) to apply to
Higher Education Institutions (HEI), widening the participation of adult population in
Portugal. In the University of Aveiro (UA), a student enrolled through this specific regime
has had to pass a three steps evaluation process, with the following weights in the final
mark: (A) the analysis of the candidate curriculum vitae (20%); (B) a set of thematic
exams with the purpose of evaluation of their academic skills (60%); (C) finally, an
individual interview where an appointed jury questions the applicant about his or her
motivations and life history (20%). After successfully passing this process, the candidates
can apply for a course at the UA. Also an innovative “one-stop shop” was created in the
Lifelong Unit of the UA (Uinfoc), where the M23 candidates deal with all the related
administrative procedures.
