The Bologna 1st cycle degree Licenciatura em Engenharia de Redes de Comunicações (LERC, Licenciate Degree in Communication Networks Engineering) aims at providing the scientific and technological fundamentals in the area of Information Technologies and Communications Networking.

The graduates of LERC are provided with a solid basis in these engineering areas, thanks to innovative teaching methods and to the interaction with the surrounding technological environment, leveraged by their insertion in the environment of Taguspark, the largest Portuguese Science and Technology park.

Upon completion of their degree, the LERC students have direct access to the Bologna 2nd cycle Mestrado em Engenharia de Redes de Comunicações (MERC, Master's Programme in Communication Networks Engineering ). Alternatively, a LERC graduate is allowed mobility to other national or international schools, as well as immediate integration in the specialized job market.
