Located in the Porto city centre, FBAUP is committed engaging with the local community and actively collaborates with regional and national organisations. Additionally, the Faculty maintains partnerships with dozens of similar European institutions, promoting the exchange of diverse educational and cultural experiences.
With its roots in the Public Sketching and Drawing Class (1780), FBAUP brings together the past and the present, developing a culture that is both theoretically and practically up-to-date in the fields of art and design, while always aware of the challenges of the future. FBAUP is proud to see the professional and artistic careers of many of its graduates consistently recognised and awarded in cultural and professional contexts, both nationally and internationally.
