system that integrates university and polytechnic education and is offered in both public and private institutions.

Polytechnic education comprises polytechnic institutes and other polytechnic-level educational establishments.<\/p>\n<h4>Binary system<\/h4>\n<p>University education is guided by a perspective of promoting research and knowledge creation, aiming to ensure a solid scientific and cultural preparation and provide technical training that enables the exercise of professional and cultural activities and fosters the development of design, innovation and critical analysis skills.<\/p>\n<p>Polytechnic education is guided by a perspective of applied research and development, aimed at understanding and solving concrete problems, and seeks to provide a solid higher-level cultural and technical education, develop the capacity for innovation and critical analysis, and impart scientific knowledge of a theoretical and practical nature and its applications for the exercise of professional activities.<\/p>\n<h4>Diagram of the Higher Education System<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iesuperior.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Diagrama.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Autonomy<\/h4>\n<p>Higher education institutions enjoy <b>scientific<\/b> , <b>pedagogical<\/b> , <b>cultural<\/b> , and <b>disciplinary<\/b> autonomy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Scientific autonomy<\/b> consists of the ability to define, plan, and execute research and other scientific activities.<\/li>\n<li><b>Pedagogical autonomy<\/b> encompasses the ability to develop study plans, define the subject matter of curricular units, define teaching methods, allocate resources, and choose knowledge assessment processes.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cultural autonomy<\/b> translates into the ability to define the training program and cultural initiatives.<\/li>\n<li><b>Disciplinary autonomy<\/b> confers the power to punish, in accordance with the law and statutes, disciplinary infractions committed by teachers, researchers and other employees, as well as students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thus, matters such as the specific conditions for admission to study cycles, the operating conditions of study cycles, study plans, prerequisites and assessment regimes, the statute of limitations, the accreditation of training, curricular transition rules, deadlines for issuing academic documentation, changes to timetables and operating regimes, or deadlines for responding to requests fall within the scope of the aforementioned autonomies.<\/p>\n<h4>Structure of higher education degrees and diplomas<\/h4>\n<p>In 2005, a process to reform the Basic Law of the Education System was initiated in order to implement the Bologna Process, which included the introduction of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in study cycles, mobility mechanisms, diploma supplements, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Higher education adopted a new three-cycle study structure, leading to the academic degrees of Bachelor, Master, and Doctor. This structure was introduced in 2006 and fully implemented in Portugal from the 2009\/2010 academic year onwards.<\/p>\n<p>Generic qualification descriptors were also established for each study cycle, based on the skills acquired, as well as the definition of ECTS credits for the first and second study cycles.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, a non-degree-granting higher education study cycle was created, called the professional higher technical course, which corresponds to the short study cycle linked to the 1st cycle foreseen in the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area.<\/p>\n<h4>Accreditation and quality assurance<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.a3es.pt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education<\/a> is the competent entity to evaluate and accredit higher education institutions and their study programs.
