The IPL comprises eight schools in the fields of engineering, arts, education communication, health and accounting and administration, in which ISEL is the representative of engineering and the biggest institution here integrated. It provides Degree Courses in five different areas of engineering:
- Chemical Engineering Department
- Civil Engineering Department
- Electronic and Telecommunications and Computer Engineering Department
- Electrical Industrial and Automation Engineering Department
- Mechanical Engineering Department
With the Bologna reform, introduced at ISEL in the academic year of 2006/2007, the 5-year (1st + 2nd Cycle) courses where transformed into 3-years graduation courses, by which the graduates have their engineering degree (Licenciatura) and 2-year Master courses (Master degree).
