In 1985 only two of the current seven Schools were part of IPP: The School of Education (ESE) and the School of Music, soon to be the School of Music and Performing Arts (ESMAE) upon the creation of the Drama Department and latter incorporating the areas of Multimedia, Audiovisual and Photography. Presently the IPP includes five other Schools: the School of Engineering (ISEP), the School of Accounting and Administration (ISCAP), the School of Management and Industrial Studies (ESEIG), the School of Management and Technology of Felgueiras (ESTGF) and the School of Allied Health Technology (ESTSP) integrated in July 2004.

University of Heidelberg

Soon after its foundation, the University had firmly established its position in Europe's intellectual landscape. In the initial period, renowned theologians and jurists figured prominently among the Elector's counsellors, while the list of alumni included chancellors, bishops and royal emissaries. Later, in the 15th century, Heidelberg developed into a stronghold of humanism. The University became a veritable well-spring of new ideas and intellectual currents. Martin Luther's disputation in April 1518 made a lasting impact and his adherents among the masters and scholars soon became leading Reformationists in Southwest Germany. Notably after the Palatinate's turn to the Reformed faith, reforms in the spirit of humanism had immense influence on the intellectual climate of the day. The Heidelberg Catechism drawn up by professors from Heidelberg is famed throughout the world as the seminal document of the Reformed Church. The University represented a haven of undogmatic thinking, attracting professors and students from all over Europe.
