DGES

DGES, or the Directorate-General for Higher Education, serves as a pivotal institution within Portugal's education landscape, promoting and regulating the higher education system. DGES facilitates various academic programs, including technical superior courses (CTeSP), bachelor's degrees, master's integrated degrees, and doctoral programs, tailored to meet the needs of students and professionals alike.

In addition to educational paths, DGES oversees the recognition of diplomas, ensuring smooth transitions between different levels and types of qualifications. The organization is also committed to inclusivity and accessibility in education, with dedicated programs for students with disabilities and those pursuing studies through distance learning.

Engaging in international cooperation through frameworks like Erasmus+, DGES plays a crucial role in advancing Portugal's higher education quality and global integration.
