FACULDADE DE CIÊNCIAS E TECNOLOGIA (FCT)
Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (Faculty of Science and Technology; FCT), founded in 1977, is located at the Campus of
Caparica, and is organized in 14 departments/sectors. It is engaged in extensive research activity covering many fields of science
and engineering, developed in 18 research centres acknowledged by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia and involving ca.
1600 PhD and Master’s students of the total enrolment of 7600. FCT partners with foreign universities such as the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Carnegie Mellon and the University of Texas at Austin to offer some of its advanced
study programs. The entrepreneurial drive of the students and graduates of FCT has led to many successful spin-offs that transfer
knowledge to the market and help create value and social impact. FCT hosts many cultural activities, including painting, sculpture
and multimedia exhibits, conferences and debates. The Campus offers students’ halls, child day-care, health services, bookshop,
bank agency, travel agency, convenience store, several restaurants and cafeterias, sports infrastructures and car parking facilities.
FCT/UNL is easily accessible through public transportation, including different combinations of ferry, train, bus and underground/
surface metro (last stop at “Universidade”).

STUDENTS’ UNION (AEFCT)
Founded in 1979, the Students’ Union plays a central role in all that
concerns the interfacing of the students with academic staff and
administrative services, as well as the insertion of FCT students in
the job market.
Through AEFCT you can actively engage in many extra-curricular
activities.
AEFCT Nuclei: anTUNiA – FCT’s Male Students’ musical group;
Campus INFRASTRUCTURES
GANK – Academic Spirit Group; GasNova – Social Works Group;
Kernel – Mathematics Nucleus; NAFCT – Astronomy Nucleus; NASA
– Underwater Activities Nucleus; NBN – Biomedical Nucleus; NC –
Cinema Nucleus; NEA – African Students Nucleus; NGE – Geology
Nucleus; NIF – Informatics Nucleus; NJS – Strategy Games, Fiction
and Society Nucleus; NNT – New Theater Nucleus; NTA – Archery
Nucleus; NUCEG – Cultural and Gastronomic Nucleus; NUDANÇA
– Dance Nucleus; NUFOTO – Photography Nucleus; NUSI – Sound
and Image Nucleus; Radio FCT – Radio Nucleus; Tuna Maria –
These include students’ halls, sports infrastructures, child day-care, health services, information and advice centre, bookshop,
bank agency, travel agency, convenience store, several restaurants and cafeterias, computer rooms, e mail accounts and hard disk
space, study rooms, wireless network, self-service photocopying machines, informatics store, student parking.
Career Management Centre
Here you will find information that will help you decide whether to go on to further study and the options available concerning
postgraduate courses and research scholarships, or whether to enter the job market. You can enter your CV in a database that
will be available to prospective employers. The Career Management Centre also organizes meetings with companies that have
recruited or can potentially recruit FCT graduates.
Lodging and Mobility Office
One of the main purposes of the Lodging and Mobility Office is to assist students with their accommodation needs. The Lodging and
Mobility Office has available a database on apartments and rooms for rent near campus. The Office also promotes the exchange
of FCT students and staff with other higher education institutions. At the Lodging and Mobility Office you will find information on
ERASMUS/SOCRATES programs.
Alumni Association (A3FCT)
Joining A3FCT permits you to remain involved with FCT life, as well as learn about new courses, research and cultural events. By
staying involved with FCT, you will have updated information concerning learning opportunities and new career paths.

Additionally, AEFCT promotes events such as: Freshmen Week;
Nova Students’ Annual Meeting; Radical Week; FCT’s Technology
Forum – JORTEC; Pedagogical Forum; Jobshop – Job Fair, Forums
Fair; FCT’s Scholarships and Traineeships; Employers’ Day,
“Bênção das Pastas” – a Portuguese tradition whereby prospective
graduates are blessed by a senior catholic priest.
AEFCT has signed protocols with the Portuguese Board of
Professional Engineers and the Southern Regional Engineers’
Union (SERS), as well with many institutions and companies,
which can help you with your career path. By being a member
of AEFCT, you are entitled to several services that include legal
support, discounts on events organized by AEFCT and its several
Nuclei. You can also relax in leisure rooms equipped with snooker
tables, table-tennis and other recreational games.
