1. feup: engineering beyond.

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 90.000 m² campus, with excellent infrastructures. The campus also conveys a 6-floor library with 500 reading spots and work cabinets;

4. feup: identity our heart & soul: feup holds up to 7.000 students and 418 teachers distributed by 9 different departments: Mechanical, Industrial, Civil, Electrical, Computer, Materials and Metallurgy, Mining, Chemical Engineering and Physics.

5. feup: growth it’s all been worth it: with a total investment of 8 million € in the last 3 years feup has kept a steady pace towards excellence and innovation, namely: 18 spin-offs, 41 active or pending patents and brands, 24 R&D units, involving 80% of the faculty;

6. feup: performance knowledge is our business: feup has adapted its courses to Bologna and currently offers a solid collection of graduate and postgraduate education activities– 10 undergraduate courses, 9 of which granting a masters degree; feup’s learning portfolio also includes 9 postgraduate master degree courses (2nd cycle) and a wide range of PhD conferring courses, that sum up to 18 different options on the 3rd cycle.

9. 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) and, of course, by the scientific production of the school (1 ISI paper per permanent staff per year). feup: performance

10. 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.

11. 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.
