“Welcome to the School of Nursing at Universidade Católica Portuguesa!

Choosing Nursing means choosing to care, to be present and to make a difference. It means committing to supporting each person with competence, empathy and respect, in moments of greatest vulnerability, but also of hope and recovery. It means bringing science and humanity together to transform lives, strengthen communities and contribute to a better future.
At Católica, you will find academic excellence, stimulating challenges and opportunities to develop your full potential. But you will also find a community that welcomes, inspires and supports you as you build your path as students, professionals and citizens.
Embrace this new chapter with courage, curiosity and enthusiasm. Bring your dreams, your questions and your willingness to learn. Every piece of knowledge you gain, every experience you have and every act of care will help shape the nurse and the person you aspire to become.
Dream big. Learn with rigour. Care with humanity. The future of Nursing begins today, and it begins with you.
A very warm welcome!”
