IST and DEI
Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) stands as Portugal's largest and one of the most reputed institutions for Engineering education. Since its establishment in 1911, IST has been dedicated to advancing society through the provision of exceptional higher education in the fields of Engineering, Science, Technology, and Architecture, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Furthermore, IST is committed to fostering Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I) initiatives that enable the delivery of educational programs aligned with the highest international standards. Its mission is thus encapsulated in the three pillars of the modern university: the creation of knowledge, the cultivation of proficient professionals, and the dissemination and application of knowledge and innovation. Comprising nine Engineering departments, IST collaborates closely with some of Portugal's most prestigious RD&I and technology transfer organizations, yielding notable international impact across a wide spectrum of scientific and technological domains.
IST's Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DEI) is committed to advancing society through the promotion of educational excellence in the field of Computer Science and Engineering. This commitment encompasses both undergraduate and graduate programs and extends to the execution of RD&I activities adhering to the highest international standards.
DEI offers a range of academic degrees, including BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in Computer Science and Engineering. LEIC (BSc) is the largest undergraduate program at IST and the largest and most sought-after Computer Engineering program offered by Portuguese universities. MEIC (MSc) is another major DEI offer, with a very comprehensive and up-to-date diverse scientific area, from artificial intelligence to cyber-security, to name a few.
The department's commitment to educational resources development is underpinned by a robust research and development strategy centered around research centers and institutes. This approach has yielded a faculty with national and international recognition, characterized by a level of quality that upholds IST's tradition of excellence. Currently, DEI boasts a distinguished team of approximately eighty professors, organized into five distinct scientific areas: artificial intelligence, architecture and operating Systems, graphics and interaction, and information systems and programming methodology and technology.
