What makes a school “open to the world”? The FADEUP, right before you, embodies this idea beautifully. Founded in 1975, the FADEUP, or Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto, isn’t just a local institution. It’s a vibrant hub with 28 nationalities represented in its student body. Imagine hallways buzzing with languages, ideas, and perspectives from every corner of the globe. This diversity is particularly evident in the number of Portuguese-speaking students – 159 to be exact, with a large contingent of 139 hailing from Brazil. The FADEUP’s commitment to international collaboration extends beyond its student body. The faculty boasts the highest number of research collaborations with foreign institutions within the University of Porto. It’s a testament to their dedication to pushing the boundaries of sports science on a global scale. So, as you stand before this unassuming yet impactful institution, remember that the FADEUP is more than just a building. It’s a microcosm of the world, united by a shared passion for sport and knowledge.
