Training

The University of Coimbra aims to position itself as a leading European institution and to be recognised as the top Portuguese university. In order to achieve this goal, investment in professional qualification and training is essential for the development of human resources and, by extension, for the development of the institution as a whole. Accordingly, the University of Coimbra is committed to providing training that meets the needs of the institution and its staff. On this page you can find information about the training courses offered by the University of Coimbra.

If you have any questions, please contact us at formacao@uc.pt.

Based on a comprehensive organisational assessment, and in order to maximise the knowledge and skills of its staff, the University of Coimbra issues a biannual training plan, available in Portuguese here:

• 2023/2024

In addition to in-house training and the training plan, the UC also provides three other types of training:

• External training (IT113)
• Work-based training (IT114)
• Self-directed training (IT116)
