Counting on a renowned national and international faculty, it will be the first medical degree in Portugal taught in English and open to students from all over the world, with a student focused methodology.

It will be taught in modern facilities and specifically designed to the level of the most advanced teaching of medicine that is practised in the best universities in the world.
