ResumoThe Portuguese higher education system is binary. It includes both private and public universities and polytechnics. In the public sector there are 13 universities, one Open University(Universidade Aberta) and an independent institute, ISCTE (Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho); there are also 16 polytechnics — the University of the Algarve and the University of Aveiro include some polytechnic schools — and 32 non-integrated schools. This subsystem also includes a network of nursing institutes, three institutes for training technicians for health services (Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra), a school of hostelry and tourism, and a school of art restoration. Some public higher education is dependent on the Armed Forces and Police Forces (Military Academy, Air Force Academy, Naval School and the Higher School of Police).
