ESEP Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto began as three separate institutions: the Higher Nursing Schools of D. Ana Guedes, Cidade do Porto, and São João. In 2007 all three schools merged to form Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto.
However, the university’s history dates back to 1896 when the Nursing Course at Hospital Geral de Santo António was created, the first nursing school in the country.
The university is located in Porto, the second largest city in Portugal.
There are a number of different master’s degree programmes on offer at the university. All programmes specialise in specific areas of nursing such as public health, palliative care, paediatric health, psychiatric nursing, and community health.
The Student Association consists of five departments: cultural department, student support department, scientific department, department of communication and image, and the sports department.
The university is a member of the Sustainable Campus Network, a cooperation network in Portugal that connects higher education institutions through sustainability. The network’s first conference took place in 2019 and ESEP was one of 28 institutions that attended.
The university has taken numerous measures to ensure its campus is sustainable and environmentally friendly. These measures include installing rainwater recovery systems, thermal insulation solutions and chargers for electric vehicles.
