FEUP has established itself as a true international reference in engineering. The strong collaborations it has established with prestigious companies and universities in Europe and the rest of the world have contributed greatly to this. In the United States of America, it has privileged collaborations with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Texas at Austin (UTAustin), with which it promotes joint doctoral studies and partnerships in research and technology transfer projects.
FEUP is proud to be the first Portuguese institution to have all its engineering courses accredited by ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education) with the EUR-ACE quality mark. This qualification places FEUP at an unprecedented level in higher education in Portugal, giving its diplomas a greater European dimension, which will lead to greater acceptance of FEUP engineers throughout Europe.
