"One of the main challenges is, in 10 years or 20 years, the capacity of the campus and the critical mass of the three universities to attract students from all over the world", said Minister Manuel Heitor.
According to the minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education, “Portugal and the Portuguese need higher education institutions and universities to attract students from all over the world”.
The South Campus will make it possible to launch new degrees, masters and doctorates, enabling students to spend periods of time at each of the three institutions, with accommodation in university residences.
The creation of applied research and innovation centres for sustainability and collaborative agendas with the main social and economic partners in the region are other projects of this consortium.
Manuel Heitor highlighted that the country has never had "as many students in higher education as in recent years".
But, “to broaden the training base, [the South Campus] has to get more students from abroad, because we have a particularly specific demographic context in Portugal and Alentejo”, he underlined.

One of the issue is the process is transferring and getting diploma recognition. The process isn't that straight forward and it is handled university by university. It would be better if a centralized enity handle it, that way everyone had a fair way of being processed.

Excellent Idea BUT Graduate students want to be taught by an internationally diverse faculty think ETH Zurich, or University California, Berkeley. The Luso sphere. Countries tend to hide among themselves which only promotes poorer educational outcomes. Just look at the International rankings of Portuguese and Brazilian Uni. You do realize the graduate programs will have to be taught in high level English?

The fact of the matter is most international students are willing to study in Portugal base on the good courses and the mode of payment but your Embassies are intentionally refusing students visas meanwhiles they provide all the necessary documents that is required by consulars and paid the tuition fees to the schools yet they refuse them visas becuase of that most espercially African students are turning to apply to other EU countries. Something must really be done.Your Embassy in Abuja Nigeria are rather putting people off to apply for visas.
