Universities in Lisbon

Founded in 1972, Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon is one of Portugal’s first modern universities, created to study labour and social dynamics in a changing world. It has since grown into five schools: Iscte Business School; the School of Sociology and Public Policy; the School of Technology and Architecture; the School of Social Sciences and Humanities; and the School of Applied Digital Technologies (Iscte – Sintra). With around 14,700 students (20% international), it offers a multicultural campus and teaching staff engaged in cutting-edge research. Iscte is also active in global and EU-supported partnerships in education, training and research, preparing students for competitive careers and thoughtful lives in the 21st century.
