Since 1988, there has been a second public institution of higher education in Coimbra, the Instituto Politécnico de Coimbra, a polytechnic institute, whose entrance and teaching requirements are usually less demanding than the University of Coimbra's. There are also some private schools and institutes such as the Instituto Superior Miguel Torga, the Instituto Superior Bissaya Barreto, and the Escola Universitária Vasco da Gama, which are not generally considered as prestigious as the university.
