The Informatics Engineering Department at FEUP has the following mission:

• To provide international level education in the area of Informatics Engineering, namely on its scientific, technical, ethical and cultural dimensions;
• To produce research and development of excellence for the progress of Computer Science and to support education activities in Informatics Engineering.

The Department of Computing Engineering (DEI) was established on the 1st of January 2008, following on from the activities that had been carried out at FEUP since the early 90s. Initially with 38 teachers involved in scientific and technical subjects covered by the classification of the Bodies of Knowledge included in the curriculum proposal of the ACM and IEEE organisations (CC2001), it currently has around 70 members, 46 of whom are PhDs, who carry out their activities in the following scientific sub-areas:

• Computing Systems Architectures
• Computer Graphics and Interative Digital Media
• Sciences and Technology Programming
• Software Engineering
• Information Systems
• Intelligent Systems

In the area of teaching, DEI is the administrative centre for a diverse range of cycles of study, providing solid, sustained, multidisciplinary academic training, based on scientific research activities, essential for the qualification of professionals who contribute to innovation and the production of knowledge for the benefit of society:

• Graduate (Doctoral)

• Graduate (Masters):

• Undergraduate (Bachelor):
