feup: engineering beyond.

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.

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;

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.

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;

feup: performanceknowledge 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.

Launched on the Portuguese market in 2007, the new Super Bock alcohol-free beer is the result of an innovative patent pending production process, developed in a partnership of Unicer with the Chemical Engineering department of the School of Engineering (FEUP). This new process keeps all the original flavour of the beer with the convenience of a 0º alcohol graduation.
