Message from the Dean

Welcome message from the Dean

The school of Health is one of the five schools of the Setubal Polytechnic University and focuses its activity on a diverse field of health domains. Its unique character is expressed in the positive results it has accomplished throughout the years: high levels of demand for its educational programs, academic success and satisfaction of its students as well as high rates of  employability of its graduates.

Those who choose the School of Health to initiate or continue their academic development in higher education, find a highly qualified team of teachers, competent in their specific knowledge areas, committed and available to encourage the individual and collective development of students. They also find a team of competent and available administrative staff, who facilitate all the logistic support to all activities of the School.

A larger scientific community has recognized the investment that the School of Health has made in applied research, in its specific areas of expertise, through national and international funded research projects, and respective publications in indexed peer reviewed journals.

The partnerships that we have established, and kept, with local organizations have assured the diversity of learning contexts and the full implementation of the approved Study Plans of each degree. International cooperation have allowed a growing number of our students to participate in international activities and mobilities, as well as the integration of international students in our own activities.

For all this and more that the School of Health is known for, on behalf of the academic community I would like to welcome those who are already part of our community, and I would like to encourage all those who search for a credible institution to develop an interesting and challenging future professional path, to integrate our community.

The Dean of the School of Health
