Is this where brilliant minds gather? Right before your eyes stands the Universidade do Porto, also known as U.Porto. This isn’t just any university. U.Porto boasts a profound history that intertwines with Porto’s vibrant tapestry, dating back to its establishment on March 22, 1911. However, its intellectual roots run far deeper, reaching back to the 18th century. Imagine the legacy of the Nautical Academy, founded by King Joseph I in 1762, and the Drawing and Sketching Academy, a brainchild of Queen Mary I in 1779! These institutions laid the groundwork for what would become a beacon of knowledge in Portugal. Today, U.Porto is a sprawling academic city, home to 14 distinguished faculties spread across three captivating campuses. It’s a melting pot of ideas, with a student body of around 30,000, including a vibrant community of 5,000 international students. But here’s a fun fact. U.Porto isn’t just about academics. It’s deeply committed to the city’s sustainability, proudly subscribing to the Porto Climate Pact. It’s using its resources and brainpower to help Porto achieve carbon neutrality. How amazing is that?
