Porto · Portugal
Porto's Católica business school takes OMPT-A in place of its own internal maths exam for Economics and Management applicants, without publishing a minimum.
Católica Porto Business School accepts OMPT-A in place of its own internal mathematics exam for its Economics and Management degrees (Licenciatura em Economia and Licenciatura em Gestão). The route exists for international applicants whose home-country exams have no Portuguese entrance-exam equivalent — the school's answer to the problem of comparing a Nigerian, Indian or American transcript against Portugal's national exam system.
No minimum score is published. As with every unpublished bar in this table, that means asking, not guessing: Católica Porto's own FAQ is the source for this route, and an email to admissions asking what score satisfies the current intake will save you from preparing to the wrong standard. Prepare to a 70% practice level in the meantime — it matches what its Lisbon sister school publishes, and no admissions office has ever been unhappy with a higher score.
The alternative is UCP's internal maths exam itself, sat on the school's own calendar. The OMPT's advantage is logistics: proctored online, bookable with 72 hours' notice, graded in about eight business days. For an applicant several time zones from Porto, that convenience is usually decisive.
