Information Science at University of Porto, through FLUP and FEUP, is member of iSchools.

With the opening, in 2001/2002, of the first graduate degree in Information Science, the University of Porto sought to ensure an appropriate education, regarding the new information-based society, where information and information services managers, data and information systems managers, and also professionals from archives and libraries develop their activities.

This degree is the result of a partnership between the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Engineering, whose additional valences have allowed to build a solid and updated study plan; such plan crosses traditional knowledge with theoretical and practical applications in the information technologies and communication areas.
