Since 1911, Técnico has provided training to thousands of students based on an internationally recognized education with a solid basic preparation. In 2021, Técnico updated its teaching model to meet the demanding challenges of today’s world.New curricular components were introduced and new learning methodologies were adopted, valuing the students’ academic career as well as their extracurricular experiences, in line with the best schools of Science and Engineering in Europe.

The new teaching model followed the disintegration of the integrated masters, determined by Decree-Law No. 65/2018 of the Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education.

In addition to the solid training in the basic scientific disciplines, the new teaching model is based on:

Técnico offers:

• 18 undergraduate programmes (1st study cycle – 180 ECTS credits)
• 33 master programmes (2nd study cycle – 120 ECTS credits)
• 1 integrated master (1st + 2nd study cycle – 300 ECTS credits)
• 35 minors (for master programmes)
• More than 50 Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences subjects (for undergraduate programmes, with ULisboa Schools)

The new teaching model has started in 2021/22, with effect for the whole academic community, however, Técnico safeguards a transition period.

In these first years, several academic procedures will be carried out, namely the attribution of equivalences between the old and the new curricular plans, and specific rules for the admission to the 2nd cycle for students enrolled in the integrated masters until 2020/21 will be safeguarded.
