Students are required to be at least 21 years old, and to have completed [[secondary education]]. Candidates over 25 with no secondary degree can be admitted after having passed the national university access examination or ''[[ad hoc]]'' examination.

Thousands of students, from all over the world, are enrolled in distance education undergraduate programmes. Several hundred Portuguese students follow post-graduation face-to-face courses.

Together with its main activities in teaching and scientific [[research]], Universidade Aberta promotes the Portuguese language and culture, especially in Portuguese-speaking countries.

Universidade Aberta is one of the largest national producers of university teaching materials. The printed materials, which constitute the core of the University's courses, are usually complemented by [[videocassette]]s, [[audiocassette]]s, [[CD-ROM]]s, [[Internet]] and TV and radio broadcasts.

Face-to-face and mixed modes (including [[video-conferencing]]) are used for postgraduate programmes. Counselling services by telephone, fax and e-mail are available in the university and at the study centres.

Students of Universidade Aberta have their own body of representatives.

Its focus is on the [[humanities]], [[social sciences|social]] and [[behavioral sciences]].
