Egas Moniz School of Health and Science

Since its establishment in 1987, the Egas Moniz School of Health and Science has developed into one of the largest private institutions in Portugal offering studies in the health field. The institution is guided by its mission: “dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, learning and education of its students, at the service of improving the health conditions of global society in the twenty-first century.” It provides a comprehensive curriculum with over 50 courses, including Integrated Master’s Degrees in fields such as Dental Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine. Egas Moniz operates under the belief that education should transcend mere technical competence, focusing on developing students into capable individuals prepared to contribute both nationally and internationally.

The School strategically employs the “One Health” approach, an integrated method recognizing that the health of communities is intrinsically linked to the health of the environment and animals. This perspective is central to the Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research, which promotes a paradigm focused on translational research and teaching. The institution prioritizes the well-being and development of its academic community, fostering an environment of vitality and collaboration. Egas Moniz functions not only as an educational provider but also as an active center contributing to public health and scientific advancement.
