School of Business Sciences - ESCE

Created in 2001, the School of Business Sciences is one of the most recent of the IPVC's schools. Its campus is located in Valença, 50 kilometres from Viana do Castelo and on the Spanish border.

Set in a region characterized by its fast developing economic activity, and taking advantage of its close proximity to Spain , the School aims to produce highly skilled professionals that meet the needs of the economy, both in Portugal and in the neighbouring Spanish region of Galicia. Because of its privileged geographical location, it also draws students from across the border.

ESCE is growing each year and already offers post-graduate courses in addition to undergraduate courses.
