Design & Product Management (Master)
Nowadays, highly saturated consumer goods markets and increasing consumer needs present companies with very special challenges. The answer to this, however, is thoughtful design and sustainable product management. In the Master’s degree in Design & Product Management, students deepen their skills as a leader in the forward-looking field of circular design.
AI for Sustainable Technologies (Master)
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science are technologies that permeate almost every aspect of life and work, becoming indispensable. With the Master’s programme in AI for Sustainable Technologies, students will become responsible shapers of a future where AI supports people in a sustainable manner. In the programme, they will focus on the two central concepts of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘Sustainable Technology Development’ and learn to combine their technical competencies in Data Science and Software Engineering with their skills in designing and discussing Sustainable AI.
Timber construction and technical equipment
This university course offers experts in the construction industry the opportunity to expand their knowledge of key developments in timber construction while working. The course focuses on specialist knowledge of timber protection measures, dealing with the special physical properties of timber constructions and the technical expansion of timber constructions, as well as current and future-oriented design strategies such as resilient building and construction and the recyclability of timber constructions. This course enables you to play an active role in shaping change in the modern timber construction industry and become part of a strong value chain for timber as a building material.
Master’s in Artificial Intelligence Engineering
Artificial Intelligence (AI) seeks to build tools to complement human activity by creating algorithms and intelligent behaviour systems. AI has been responsible for the creation of new start-ups and spinoffs in the field of Computer Engineering and is increasingly being invested in by large companies, particularly in the automotive, banking, insurance and retail sectors.
Degree in Data Science for Management
The degree in Data Science for Management is a degree that develops essential competences in today’s information society and that allows us to gain a significant understanding of business through the study of data. This degree, with a multidisciplinary approach, combines principles and practices in the areas of technology, information systems, statistics, artificial intelligence and computer engineering to investigate a large volume of data (Big Data), the analysis of which helps to ask and answer questions such as What happened? Why did it happen? What is likely to happen? What can we do with the results?
Postgraduate Data Science
The amount of data generated by organisations has grown exponentially, increasing the need for professionals specialised in extracting value from this data. When properly exploited, data makes it possible to support strategic decisions, create products and offer more personalised services, among many other potentialities. Data Science, therefore, is an essential area that cuts across all types of organisations and sectors, recognised for its potential to provide competitive advantages.
Degree in Environmental Engineering
The sustainability of the planet requires professionals trained to respond to the transformations imposed by climate change, water and energy scarcity and the protection of biodiversity. At NOVA FCT, the Degree in Environmental Engineering prepares engineers to create innovative solutions that promote a balance between human progress and the sustainability of the planet.
Forest resources
Preparing and carrying out activities inherent to forest management and forest fire defence, namely fuel management, maintenance and improvement of infrastructures, maintenance and protection of rural areas, respecting health and safety standards at work and environmental protection, participating and interacting as part of a team.
Postgraduate Course in Sustainable Architecture
The Postgraduate Course in Sustainable Architecture is a joint initiative born out of the collaboration between ESCOLA SUPERIOR ARTÍSTICA DO PORTO and CRITICAL CONCRETE, with the aim of providing training capable of responding to pressing contemporary challenges, namely the need to adopt sustainable and accessible construction solutions.
Degree in Computer Science
The Degree in Computer Science (LCC) is a 3-year 1st cycle university programme, which has been running since 2006/07. It is characterised by teaching a rigorous vision of computing, with a solid mathematical foundation that is recognised nationally and internationally. The structure of the course includes a broad scientific base, enabling graduates to lead a full professional life with the skills required for the harmonious development of robust, quality computer applications and their integration into appropriate technological platforms.
