Programmes

Católica Medical School is the most recent academic unit of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, created in 2018. It will contribute to the innovation of medicine in Portugal, through three basic pillars: teaching, research and clinical. Católica Medical School aims to train professionals of excellence, with a high ethical sense and social responsibility, capable of contributing to the continuous improvement of health care, inspired by the mission of working for the common good.

In 2023, the Faculty of Health Sciences and Nursing was created as the successor unit to the ICS.

With extensive educational experience, we teach courses that set a benchmark in Portugal for the scientific, technical and human preparation of students, through an innovative programme for obtaining the professional title of Nurse and/or Specialist Nurse.

In 2006, the Escola Superior Politécnica de Saúde (Polytechnic School of Health) was created within the Institute of Health Sciences (ICS) of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa.

On 30 September 2015, the University's Board of Governors approved changing the name of the Escola Superior Politécnica de Saúde to Escola de Enfermagem (Lisboa).
