Services
Student services
The Academic Organization Office (GOA) is a facilitator service to assist with academic issues. We help with applications, requests and other documents, simplifying the recognition of qualifications and competences process.
GOA is responsible for the educational, academic and disciplinary matters of P.PORTO’s students, whose competence does not belong to the respective organic units or management bodies with specific responsibility.
Thus, its responsibilities include drawing up notices and warnings related to enrollment, registration, examinations, tests, transfers, readmissions, course changes, special qualifications, payment of fees and registering all acts related to students’ academic life.
Housing services
- P.PORTO's network of residences extends from Porto to Vila do Conde, bringing together three campuses, eight schools and hundreds of students. Come get to know us better! P.PORTO covers an area of influence that extends from the North Coast to the interior of the region.
- There are eight schools spread across three campuses that show the umbilical connection with the needs of the region and the optimization of their skills and resources.
- At Campus 1 in Porto we find four P.PORTO residences with access to a wide range of services.
- Also in Campus 2 of Póvoa de Varzim / Vila do Conde we can find two residences.

Library services
The P.PORTO Division of Information and Documentation collects and prepares all the documentation necessary to the management and organisation of the institution, by making publicly available Meeting Minutes, Strategic Plans, Rules and Regulations, Resolutions of the Management Council, among other documents from each training or research unit or transverse to all management bodies.
Student Life
Campus life
- Today, the Asprela district represents one of the largest campus of talent, knowledge and innovation in Europe. In fact, in a little more than a square kilometer work more than 14,000 people, mostly with higher qualifications and in functions of great complexity.
- The district also hosts some 38,000 students in more than 500 higher education programs and launches more than 10,000 graduates a year, which accounts for about one-third of the regional total. The users of the hospital services and the numerous external visitors: researchers, lecturers and business clients must also be considered.
Sports facilities
- The Polytechnic of Porto offers sports facilities to its academic community, as well as various sports activities.
- On the other hand, at Asprela Campus, there are several public and private spaces / gyms for the development of sports activities.
Student clubs
- Since it was founded in 1985, P.PORTO’s students have organised themselves in associations as the result of the coordination of wills and t teamwork. These associations or organisms known as Students’ Unions (AE’s – Associações de Estudantes) play a vital role representing and defending students’ rights in the Schools’ management.
- Students’ Unions let student concerns be heard and encourage student participation in the construction and implementation of the adopted institutional policies. Apart from representation, student associations are also involved in various other areas, such as providing services (stationery, photocopying, etc.), organising scientific, cultural, sports and recreational activities.
