About IPS
Polytechnic Institute of Santarém (IPS) — public non-profit institution. It is located in Santarem, Portugal. The higher education institution was founded not so long ago — in 1979 — which is why it is considered one of the youngest in the country.
IPS conducts various scientific activities and is inviting students to join the research.
As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at IPS is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. One year of studying at IPS will cost local citizens a minimum of 2,825 USD. For foreigners, the tuition fee is different — from 2,500 USD per year. Thanks to financial support programs, students have the opportunity to fully or partially cover the cost of education. On the official website of the university, you will find all the relevant information about tuition fees and scholarships.
It is necessary to pay attention to other costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, food, and personal expenses.

IPS campus
The campus of IPS is located in Santarem. The urban campus is suitable for those students who, firstly, are used to independence, and secondly, cannot imagine their life without the hustle and bustle of a big metropolis. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. Thanks to international exchange programs at IPS, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
After graduation, you can stay in Portugal for 1 year. This time is enough to find a job and change your student visa to a work one. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
