Welcome message from Raquel Matos, Dean of the Faculty of Education and Psychology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (FEP-UCP), for new students beginning their studies in the 2026/2027 academic year.

“Welcome to the Faculty of Education and Psychology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa!

Today, you begin a unique and challenging journey, filled with opportunities to grow, learn and make your mark.

We want every student to feel part of a community that values and supports them throughout their academic journey.

At our Faculty, you will find an education grounded in three pillars that define who we are: scientific excellence, ethical responsibility and social commitment. These values guide everything we do in teaching, research and engagement with society.

We believe in every student, in their journey, in their own pace and in their potential. That is why we strive to create an environment of proximity, support and sharing, where each individual can develop their skills and achieve their goals with autonomy and responsibility.

We hope you begin this academic year with curiosity and a desire to learn, embracing every challenge as an opportunity for growth.

Welcome to your new home!”
