ISVOUGA through the degree courses it offers in the areas of business sciences, communication sciences, legal sciences and technologies, aims to create and strengthen skills that can boost the economic and social development of the country and, in particular, of the region of Entre Douro and Vouga, where it belongs. Aware of the centrality that assumes the process of lifelong learning, ISVOUGA assumes itself, increasingly, as a pole of qualification of different publics, namely through renewed offers of continuing education. The proposals for curricular support and enrichment, obey the objectives defined based on the priority given to the fight against school failure and the promotion of versatile curricula and differentiators for students, thus corroborating and complementing the constant concern with the integration and professional mobility of graduates. Research and the provision of relevant services to the community are other of its most decisive attributions, guaranteeing the innovation and social usefulness of all its activity.
