The IPAM Porto campus is situated at Edifício IPAM Porto, Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, 748, 4100-320 Porto.

IPAM has established partnerships with prestigious student residences offering special booking conditions for its students. Partner residences include Livensa Living, present in Lisbon (Cidade Universitária and Marquês de Pombal areas) and Porto (Asprela Campus and Jardim Botânico/Casa da Música areas), offering individual studios and duplexes with all expenses included (water, electricity, internet, TV, 24-hour security) plus access to swimming pool, gym, study rooms, library, and movie theatre

Yes, international graduates in Portugal can remain in the country and enter the labour market under Article 122 of Portuguese Immigration Law. The law allows for a transition to a residence permit without the need for a consular visa application abroad. Students who have finished higher education in Portugal can benefit from a maximum period of one year to look for a job or start a business in the national territory compatible with their qualifications. Foreign citizens do not need to leave Portugal or return to their home country during this transition period.

Students who do not have EU citizenship must have a visa to study in Portugal. To apply for a visa, IPAM issues a letter of acceptance or application declaration after receiving and validating all application documents. International students are also required to obtain a Portuguese Taxpayer Identification Number (NIF) from a Citizen's Office or Finance Service, which is essential for opening a bank account and managing tuition payments. IPAM's student insurance is mandatory and guarantees coverage for students during their studies.
