The primary goal of this paper is to model the student allocation in the Portuguese public higher education system, namely in academic engineering programs for the Post-Bologna period. This work follows the results obtained for the Pre-Bologna period. The data used refer to the years 2007 to 2015 and most of them are available online, provided by the Portuguese Ministry of Education. By estimating student allocation through the negative binomial regression model, we have concluded that the results are similar to the results already obtained for the Pre-Bologna period. That is, the model had a satisfactory performance for the data in study.
