History

University Fernando Pessoa was recognized as a public interest organization by the Portuguese State in July 1996 and it is the result of a pioneering higher education project initiated in the 1980’s with the creation of two higher education institutes that provided its structural basis.

Education

Today, the University is organized in three faculties (Health Sciences, Human and Social Sciences, Science and Technology), one School of Health Sciences and one autonomous unit (Ponte de Lima College). 

Research

Research was encouraged and supported since the creation of the University Fernando Pessoa, with the formation of several R&D centers. Some of these are lab oriented, others community oriented, cooperating with national and international public and private institutions. Whenever is possible, some of these R&D centers integrate graduate, master and doctoral students on their research.

Career

UFP always collaborated with the evolving community by developing services that would balance research and students interaction. These projects can be agreements to produce contents to private companies, community health services, conferences, exhibitions, etc. Also, there are R&D projects directly related to the community.
