The internationalization strategy has marked, since its origin, the life of the Institution. The main markets that CESPU elected are the Portuguese-speaking, namely Angola, where it was constituted the “CESPU Training Angola” SA” where we participate in the EAP - Educational Projects in Angola, promoter of the newly approved Polytechnic Institute of Benguela. Later, we started cooperation with Cape Verde, in particular with their public university, UNI-CV and the National Institute of Civil Protection. Recently, it was crated “CESPU Brazil, SA”, that aims to develop specialized training and higher education.

Alongside, CESPU has been strengthened its presence in the Iberian market by “CESPU Europe, SA”, based in Spain, and by the historic partnership with the University of Barcelona translated in the integration of CESPU in the project Campus of Excellence for Health UB HUBc, and the development of IINFACTS, an institute dedicated to research and advanced training in sciences and health technologies.

The institution has also sought to develop internationalization strategies in Europe, using the LLP / Erasmus program - for the mobility of students and staff (teaching and non-teaching) within the European space. More information - consult the International Relations – Erasmus Service.
