History
Catholic University of Portugal in Lisbon (headquarters)

The Catholic University of Portugal was established in 1967 by decree of the Holy See (Lusitanorum Nobilissima Gens), at the request of the Portuguese Bishop's conference and under Concordat Law. It was founded in 1967 and gained official recognition in 1971.

Its first constituent Faculty was the Jesuit-owned and run Faculty of Philosophy of Braga (Northern Portugal). However, the University was soon extended to Lisbon where it opened, in 1968, the Faculty of Theology and, in 1971, the Faculty of Human Sciences.

The Portuguese government's official recognition of UCP occurred in 1971, via decree-law 307/71, which acknowledged the Catholic University as on a par with the other Portuguese universities and conferred on the degrees it grants - presently Licentiate, Master and Doctorate, - the same value and the same effects as those awarded by State universities.

The late 1970s and 1980s saw the establishment and development in Portugal of a privately owned sector in higher education (including both universities and polytechnics). Within that context, there has been a generalized acceptance of the distinctive position held by the Catholic University - a public, non-State and non-profit-seeking institution.

In 1978, the UCP extended its campus to Porto, launching the first Law program in Porto, although the establishment of the Regional Nucleus of Porto was later in 1983, which since 1994 has been called Porto Regional Centre. In 1980, the University extended once again, this time to Viseu, but only in 1993 was the Beiras Regional Centre, currently Viseu Regional Centre, established.

Nowadays, and following the general trend in Portugal and abroad, UCP enjoys a large degree of autonomy in the creation and running of new campuses, faculties and courses.

Currently it has, among others, the well known courses of Business, Economics, Architecture, Law, Media and Cultural Studies, Civil Engineering and Dental Medicine.

In 2017, the Catholic University of Portugal celebrated its 50th anniversary.[4]

Rankings

According to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE WUR2020), the Catholic University of Portugal is recognized as the #1 University in Portugal, among 13 Portuguese Higher Education institutions that integrate the 2020 edition. UCP rose 300 places in the most recent edition of the ranking, now occupying the position 351 at a world level.[5]

According to the QS World University Rankings, the Catholic University of Portugal is within the world's 600 best universities.[6]

According to rankings published by the Financial Times, the Catholic University School of Business and Economics is one of the best schools in Portugal and in Europe.[7][8]

Teaching units

The Catholic University of Portugal is a national university composed by the Headquarters in Lisbon and three regional centres in Porto, Braga and Viseu, each one including several schools, faculties, institutes and departments.[9]

This 3rd Cycle training offer in Psychology is the first in Portugal, both inter-university and international.[48] The Faculty also promotes a number of postgraduate courses.[49]

The research activity is part of the Research Centre for Human Development (CEDH). Formally created in 2013, although it has been the research aggregator of the Faculty since 2008, it takes a broad and multidimensional look at human development, covering all the stages of the life cycle, considering and analysing the various transitions that guide the paths of life.

In addition to the degree courses, more than a dozen postgraduate courses are also offered, some in association with other entities.[61]

The new research demands have led to the creation of the Católica Research Centre for the Future of Law (CEID), a generalist legal research unit that aims to promote a profound change in the legal research paradigm in Portugal. CEID obtained the classification of "Very Good" in the last two evaluations carried out by FCT, which places it among the best ranked law research centres in Portugal.
