Presentation
The Faculty of Law and Political Science of the Lusófona University of Porto (FDCP-ULP), recently restructured, is an organic unit of this University that brings together undergraduate and master's degree in the different scientific areas that give it its name.
In the academic year 2024/25, the Faculty will offer three Bachelor's Degrees in:
- Law;
- Political Science and Electoral Studies;
- European Studies, Lusophone Studies, and International Relations;
The Master's Degrees in:
- Law (Master's), with specialisations in Legal and Business Sciences and Legal and Public Sciences;
- Criminal Legal Sciences (Master's);
- International Relations (Master's).
And also the PhD in Law (In conjunction with the Faculty of Law, Lusófona University - Lisbon University Centre).
- Law (PhD)
All courses are accredited by A3ES and have faculty wholly made up of professors with a university career, most of whom are doctors.
The 1st and 2nd Cycles in Law cover the traditional teaching of Legal Sciences, with a special focus on the organization and functioning of justice in Portugal, which we consider to deserve particular attention and for which a jurist has to be specially prepared and dedicated.
The 1st Cycle of Political Science and Electoral Studies combines training in theory, philosophy and classic and contemporary political history, reinforced with specialization in electoral studies and research. The Faculty thus intends to complement traditional teaching training - which we also provide - with an innovative area that is very close to the job market.
The 1st Cycle in European Studies, Lusophones Studies and International Relations is a degree course in International Relations of a broad spectrum, where subjects are learned that are usually far from these training offers. Thus, the particular look at the themes of the European Union and Lusófona enable students in areas of great relevance and practical and professional interest.
The Faculty of Law and Political Science dedicates special attention to research and scientific dissemination, having magazines, publishing books, holding conferences, congresses and other events involving professors and students, thus contributing , for the creation of an academic community of its own, but also open to the outside, very attentive to the surrounding reality of its areas of training and knowledge.
