Welcome to Universidade Católica Portuguesa, a university whose mission is to serve and inspire those who seek it. UCP was established in 1967 and it rapidly gained a solid reputation for the high quality of its teaching and the strength of its research, for the fruitful debates of ideas that it encourages, for its focus on internationalization.Within the Portuguese Higher Education system, Universidade Católica Portuguesa distinguishes itself by the values it upholds and which are expressed in its name; by a worldview open to the future and to intercultural dialogue in a wide range of areas of knowledge - in degree, master`s and doctor`s courses, diploma courses and lifelong learning.It has several campuses - the Lisbon seat, Braga Regional Centre, Beiras Regional Centre and Oporto Regional Centre - and a student body of nearly 12,000 students. Nevertheless, Universidade Católica Portuguesa is one when it comes to its spiritual strength, the ethical culture it transmits, the activities carried out in order to fulfill its mission. The University has a highly-qualified and dedicated teaching and research staff committed to enhancing confidence, as well as to sharing with the students their joy in learning and in deepening their knowledge in a continued quest for truth.
