Resources for Teaching Staff

Teaching activities at ITQB NOVA are strongly intertwined with research. Teaching is organized in courses - PhD Programmes, Master Courses, Post-graduation, and Short courses - and includes both teaching within curricular units and supervision of younger researchers.

All ITQB NOVA PhD researchers are part of the Teaching Staff, which also includes researchers from partner institutions. Their active role in ongoing research projects and their commitment to scientific knowledge ensures state-of-the art scientific training for students at all levels. The collaborative spirit of the institution also ensures a supportive pedagogic environment for both students and teaching staff. 

The quality assurance system for teaching and learning at NOVA helps monitoring teaching activities and fuels reflection for improvement, whenever necessary.
