O Programa de Regulamentação Geral de Protecção de Dados da UCP permite a aquisição de uma visão global sobre os temas mais importantes relacionados com o Regulamento Geral sobre a Protecção de Dados, aliando um diversificado corpo docente a uma abordagem muito prática, inovadora e interdisciplinar. O facto de ser composto por formandos e formadores especializados em áreas muito diferentes (e.g., Cibersegurança, Direito, Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informação) torna este Programa muito enriquecedor, na medida em que sensibiliza os formandos para as várias vertentes que devem ser tidas em conta quando se analisam questões relacionadas com a protecção de dados pessoais. Por outro lado, não obstante o principal foco do Programa ser o Regulamento Geral sobre a Protecção de Dados, são também estudados os principais diplomas conexos com a área da protecção de dados pessoais, o que é crucial para uma correcta e completa aprendizagem dos vários temas abordados ao longo do Programa.

As a private practice lawyer for almost 40 years, Universidade Católica has always been my “safe haven” for required Continuous Education, to both update and acquire knowledge in the new areas of Law, this was the case for the seminars and conferences, for the “European Studies” (1985), Labour Code (2002) and Corporate Law (2006). Given the needs that arose from the “General Data Protection Regulations”, I confidently and found at Católica Lisbon Bussiness & Economics the know-how, with the desired quality and innovation.

I chose Universidade Católica Portuguesa with the aim to deepen my knowledge regarding data protection. This decision was based on the program’s practical view and business orientation, in the effective experience of the faculty members and in the applicability of the program curriculum to reality. One of the most enriching gains after the completion of the program is the possibility to discuss and keep in touch with other colleagues in the area. It was, without a doubt, an added value given my job as Data Protection Officer.

After having attended numerous training sessions about RGPD, I could not resist enrolling in the first edition of the General Data Protection Regulation Program. The issues addressed and the faculty were decisive for this decision. This course exceeded my expectations. It is a multidisciplinary program, suitable for different grassroots formations (Legal, IT, Marketing, HR), in which the sharing of knowledge and experiences are extremely useful for all who work or intend to work in this area. It has a very important practical side, achieved in a group work, with the support of the coordinators of the program, which allowed me to apply the knowledge to concrete and truthful cases. Finally, the support materials provided are an invaluable help for my day-to-day work.
I recommend this program to all who need or want to know more about personal data protection. I congratulate the Universidade Católica for this amazing program.

This was my first experience at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, and in terms of welcoming reception, organization and logistics, I must say it excelled (for excellence). Regarding the GDPR 5 program, I highlight the Faculty’s quality, and the capability of attaining, in most modules, both theory and practical domains. Additionally, I highlight the availability of technical documentation, extremely useful to all those who work in this area. Finally, and most importantly, the greatest advantage is the exchange of experiences among all participants and the networking that arises from it. If you indulge me, I’d like to suggest an improvement, which is the inclusion of the theme in Public Administration.
