Integrated cycle of studies – 1 st + 2 th cycles – university degree, assigning the master degree, suitable to the Bologna Process, contained in Despacho no. 11958/2013, published in Diário da República, 2nd series, nº 178, of September 16, 2013. Recognized by the European Union since 1994 and accredited by the Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education (A3ES).
The ESAP Architecture Course was the third Architecture course created in Portugal. Recognized by the European Union in 1994 (Directive 85/384 / EEC), it became one of the first three Portuguese Architecture courses whose graduates have their diplomas recognized in all European Union countries. With a wide experience in the training of architects, this course combines a theoretical-critical formation with the practice of an architecture teaching strongly supported in the drawing and that also includes strands like the rehabilitation and the urban project. Installed in the historical center of Oporto, the teaching takes place in an academic environment shared with courses from different artistic areas, allowing a rich enrichment of diversified experiences.

Research is developed within the Departments associated to the course (Architecture Department – DARQ; Visual Arts Department – DAV; History and Theory Autonomous Department – SATH) and ESAP’s Research Units (Arnaldo Araújo Centre – CEAA; Laboratory for the Research in Architecture and Design – LIAD). The Integrated Master students who whish to start or reinforce their academic training can undertake Accredited Research Internships through the participation in groups or projects affiliated to or developed by these units and departments.
The Autonomous Section of Theory and History is an academic structure coordinating the scientific areas of Theory and Criticism of Art, Theory and Critique of Architecture, Theater Theory and Criticism, History of Art, History of Architecture and Social Sciences and their respective curricular units , which develops a close scientific-pedagogical articulation with the courses that integrate it.
Among other responsibilities, SATH is responsible for organizing and developing research in its scientific areas, promoting research groups and projects, in addition to individual research, as well as supporting the activities and initiatives of faculty and researchers in the field of research.
Currently, SATH shares with the other departments of ESAP a research policy that goes through two types of actions:
1. The encouragement of the formation of research teams led by professors from SATH, through the funding of short-term collective research projects, ie ESAP Projects.
2. Raising students’ awareness of the research, through the provision of Credit Research Internships (ECI) carried out in the context of ongoing projects.
In 2015, three research projects are underway at SATH, one of which is related to the Degree in Theater:
Dramatic Architectures 2015 (ESAP / 2015 / P24 / SATH). Principal Investigator: Jorge Palinhos
O LIA – Laboratório de Investigação em Arquitetura, é uma estrutura orgânica da Escola Superior Artística do Porto, constituída nos termos do Estatuto da ESAP.
Trata-se de um centro de estudos que tem por objetivos desenvolver e enquadrar atividades de investigação artística, científica e de desenvolvimento tecnológico nas áreas disciplinares da Arquitetura, da Construção e do Urbanismo, apoiando o desenvolvimento de trabalhos de investigação de âmbito académico.
Promove colaborações com as atividades desenvolvidas no âmbito dos cursos e das unidades orgânicas de investigação da ESAP, procurando ainda estabelecer uma relação dinâmica com o exterior, através de protocolos de prestação de serviços e de colaboração com outras instituições.
Diligência a divulgação dos resultados da atividade de investigação desenvolvida, organizando eventos de caráter científico, cultural e artístico, bem como outras iniciativas de natureza similar.
Atualmente o LIA organiza-se em 4 grupos de investigação:
G1 – Grupo de Estudos de Arquitectura Contemporânea e Popular
G2 – Grupo de Estudos de Desenho Urbano e Territorial
G3 – Grupo de Estudos de Arquitetura e Tecnologias
G4 – Grupo de Estudos de Design e Interações Disciplinares

In September 2013, measures were introduced to stimulate research and an ESAP Project Monitoring Commission was set up to develop:
– ESAP research projects
– Credited Research Internships (ECI)
Research projects in progress:
IEPPE, Interventions in the public space – permanent and ephemeral – in the consolidated city (ESAP / 2013 / P09 / TRV)
Landscapes by subtraction (ESAP / 2016 / P31 / DARQ)
Arnaldo Araújo Research Center (CEAA) of the Escola Superior Artística do Porto is a research unit recognized by FCT (uID 4041) that develops research in the area of Artistic Studies, concretely in the territories of Theory, Criticism and History.
