  1. feup: engineering beyond. 2009

  2. feup: identity • more than 80 years of history: Faculdade de Engenharia is the largest school of Universidade do Porto, and has significant autonomy; since 2000, feup has moved to a brand new campus, just outside the city centre, in eastern Porto, Portugal.

  3. feup: identity we put our money where our knowledge is: a 90.000m² campus, with excellent infrastructures. The campus conveys a 8-floor library with 500 reading spots and work cabinets, 9 departments, 25 computer rooms equipped with 500 computers, among other facilities and class rooms;

  4. feup: growth • it’s all been worth it: with a total investment of 8 million € in the last years feup has kept a steady pace towards excellence and innovation, namely: dozens of spin-offs, active or pending patent and brands, and R&D units which involve 80% of the faculty;

  5. feup: performance • knowledge is our business: feup has adapted its courses to Bologna and currently offers a solid project of graduate and postgraduate education : • 3 undergraduate courses (1st Cycle), 2 of which are in cooperation • 9 integrated master in engineering (1st + 2nd Cyles) • 8 MSc programmes (2nd Cycle) • 18 PhD programmes (3rd Cycle)

  6. feup: performance • and we mean it: our excellence is proven by the excellent rate of employment (nearly half of graduate students are recruited before even finishing their studies). Results from 2008 Employment Survey

  7. feup: performance • thriving for a better world: feup firmly believes that knowledge enhances its power through its investment on research and development – our research clusters indicate a rich spectrum of focus areas: energy&environment, transports&communications, electronics&computing and health&life sciences, among others.

  8. feup: performance • building bridges, in and out: feup provides significant support to the community, especially in close cooperation with national industry; a wide range of services is offered, such as: software and prototypes development, expert consulting, technical and economic feasibility studies, chemical analysis and other laboratory support services. feup also holds, on campus, several international scientific events each year.

  12. feup: feel good • experience feup: studying in feup gives the opportunity to develop academic skills, to take your know how to a higher ground, but it also allows you to have a complete, diverse and rich life on campus, through sports, cultural and leisure activities.

  13. feup: insight • engineering 101: right from the start, our programs promote hands-on activities, multidisciplinary projects, where students can experience real engineering problems, develop an acute sense of responsibility and feel part of a team.

  14. feup: going global • mastering solutions: with eyes wide open to companies’ needs, feup offers postgraduate programmes that present innovative solutions, such as: • : Innovation and Technological Entrepreneurship • : Service Engineering and Management
