Entrance Conditions
This study cycle accepts candidates who submit their application via the institutional entrance competition and have obtained a positive score in the following national entrance exams:
16- Mathematics
Candidates may also apply via the regimes of institution/programme transfer or via Special Application, in accordance with the legal regulations in force (holders of higher education degree, holders of a Technological Specialization Course, holders of Professional Higher Technician Course or Over 23 years of Age).
Candidates who meet the requirements defined in the International Student Statute can also apply.
Programme requirements
Have completed a total of 180 ECTS
Objectives
As with any engineering school, the engineering profile to be obtained at the end of this training course that is extended over two cycles, is essentially more suitable to a profile applied during the first cycle. It is extended to a more advanced profile at the end of the second cycle, which aims to train professionals and researchers that are capable of assuming leadership positions in engineering projects, integrating teams involved in technology-based innovative activities, as well as promoting socially valid and innovative research projects.

Further Studies
The licentiate degree enables the students to apply for post-graduate courses, specifically the Doctoral courses.
Career
This licentiate degree corresponds to the first cycle of a training profile on engineering that spans two cycles that correspond to a total of ten semesters (3+2 years) that confer 180 ECTS (first cycle) and 120 ECTS (second cycle), respectively.
The licentiate degree in Computer Engineering aims to produce a professional profile of the software engineer, which is characterized by specialists with a broad ability to understand and design major computer engineering projects, lead teams that develop information technology-related projects and manage and maintain information systems. The diploma also presents an in-depth training in areas related to Engineering, such as Physics and Mathematics, and in specific fields of Computing Engineering, such as the Methodology of Programming, Information Systems, Communications Networks, and management of both systems as projects. The trained specialists will for this reason be characterized by their solid training in the area of information technology, thus we consider the following skills to be essential: mastery of the principles and methodologies of programming, the ability to design and manage information systems, design and maintain computer networks and distributed systems, design, maintenance and analysis of the implementation of solutions for databases, manipulate multimedia information, analyze and process mathematical information and apply the same in the field of computing, as well as possess the ability to manage project teams.
The graduate students in Computer Engineering will find employment situations within the European network of public and private organizations that need to development, make use of, reorganize and update their information systems, namely:
oriented companies in the development and commercialization of computer-based solutions, integration and team leadership on large computer companies in the sectors of trade, industry or services, in public institutions linked to state or private sector, particularly in the area of services.
Os Licenciados em Engenharia Informática encontrarão situações de emprego na rede Europeia de organismos públicos e privados com necessidades de desenvolvimento, utilização, reorganização e modernização de sistemas de informação, nomeadamente: em empresas vocacionadas para o desenvolvimento e comercialização de soluções baseadas em informática; na integração e chefia de equipas informáticas em grandes empresas dos sectores comerciais, industriais ou dos serviços; em instituições ligadas ao sector público estatal ou privado, em particular na área dos serviços.
