Education

This academic year, most graduate and master degrees of the University of Porto will have already been adapted to the Bologna process. The organization of the plans of studies is divided into three cycles, leading respectively to graduate, master and doctoral degrees. In the fields of Medicine, Pharmacy, Psychology, Veterinary Sciences, Architecture and Engineering, there is also another cycle, leading to a master degree (the “mestrado integrado”), with a length between 10 and 12 semesters, to which correspond 300 to 360 ECTS credits. Students of these “mestrados integrados” will be awarded the degree “licenciatura” when they obtain 180 ECTS credits corresponding to the first six semesters of the programme. The designation of this type of degree is different from the one obtained by a master degree.

Several courses are planned at the U.Porto for next academic year: about 34 first cycle degrees (“licenciatura”), 18 “mestrados integrados” (access to initial training), 136 second cycle degrees (masters) and 46 doctoral programmes.
The U.Porto also offers a wide range of post-graduate and specialization courses, as well as several continuing education courses, which are described in an individual brochure.

The courses and cycles are taught at the different Schools of the University of Porto.
