University Fernando Pessoa

The International Relations Office provides a dedicated advisory service for international students on non-academic and welfare matters such as immigration, employment, finance, health services and any other concerns you may have. We also organise UFP’s International Orientation Programmes, compile the International Student Guide and coordinate events for international students. You can visit us during office hours or book an appointment.

UFP’s libraries exist to facilitate the spread of information in scientific areas taught at the University, serving as an educational support for teaching, research and learning, at undergraduate as well as post-graduate level. UFP’s libraries provide services of on-site-reading, book loans, inter-library loans, self-service copy machines, access to data bases, among other services.

All students have free internet access at UFP, either at the computer labs or using the wired and wireless network services available at classrooms, libraries, bars and cafeterias. Each student is also given an email address and on line storage to create and keep a personal web page on the internet.

All UFP students are covered by a personal accidents insurance. This insurance covers expenses related to treatment, disability or death arising from personal accidents inside UFP premises or on the way between the student’s home and the university.
