The University of São Tomé and Príncipe (Portuguese: Universidade de São Tomé e Príncipe), USTP, is a public institution of higher education in São Tomé and Príncipe.[4] It is the main institution dedicated to teaching, research and university extension of the country.[5] It was established in 2014 by merging three older institutions of higher education: ISP (Instituto Superior Politécnico de São Tomé e Príncipe, also ISPSTP), EFOPE (Escola de Formação de Professores e Educadores) and ICS (Instituto de Ciências de Saúde).[1]
The polytechnical school ISP was founded in 1996 through Decree 88, under the name "Higher Polytechnic Institute of São Tomé and Príncipe" (ISPSTP, in Portuguese);[6] it began operations in the academic year 1997/1998. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Culture, ISPSTP began its activities with three-year baccalaureate courses aimed at training secondary school teachers in the areas of Portuguese, French, Mathematics, Biology and History. Other baccalaureate courses were created later.[7]
The predecessor of the medical school ICS, Escola de Formação dos Quadros da Saúde Dr. Victor Sá Machado, was established in 2003 with financial support from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and was inaugurated in October 2003.[8] In 2014 it was renamed Instituto Superior de Ciências da Saúde Victor Sá Machado.[8]
On July 24, 2014, the government of São Tomé and Príncipe decided to establish the "São Tomé and Príncipe Public University" (UPSTP). For that, they converted the ISPSTP (transforming into an organic institution), creating instead the first public university of the archipelago. At the installation ceremony, the Minister of Education, Culture and Formation, Jorge Lopes Bom Jesus, installed the university professor Peregrino do Sacramento da Costa, as the Rector of the new university.[9]
Two Brazilian institutions have supported the project since its inception in 2012: the University for International Integration of the Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (Unilab) and the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). Both universities, together with the Brazilian Ministry of Education are assisting the institution until its final consolidation.[10] In September 2015, the creation of a German course was announced at the UPSTP with the support of the Goethe Institute and the German Academy Exchange Service and in collaboration of the University of Münster.[11] In 2016 the university changed its name to "Universidade de São Tomé e Príncipe" (USTP). On July 28, 2016, the new rector, Professor Ayres Bruzaca de Menezes, took office.[2]
