We promote it quality through the qualification of our professors and the evaluation and accreditation of the institution and the study cycles at national and international level.

We assume the challenge of reforming higher education and we believe in the democratization of access , the opening to new publics and in the permanent learning project, contributing to bring the rates of assistance and qualification of the Portuguese population closer to the European Union average.

We guarantee international transparency and academic recognition and professional qualifications, through adaptation to the Bologna Process, the application of the ECTS credit system and the bilingual availability of the ECTS Guide, diplomas and certificates.

We believe in the fundamental role of applied research in the strengthening of the educational mission at a professional and technological level and as a factor of external relations and economic development.

We work for the full employment of our graduates, through the redesign of our training courses, the offer of curricular and professional practices, the promotion of entrepreneurial activity and access to the European and international labor market.
