About Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon
Iscte was founded in 1972 as one of Portugal’s first modern universities, with the central aim of studying labour and social dynamics in a rapidly changing world.
Since its establishment, the university has expanded its disciplinary reach into four schools:
- Iscte Business School
- the School of Sociology and Public Policy
- the School of Technology and Architecture
- the School of Social Sciences and Humanities
On campus, you will find not only a robust intellectual tradition, with mentorship from teaching staff involved in cutting-edge research, but also a vibrant, multicultural environment.
Of the approximately 13,000 students enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate programs, nearly 23% are international, coming from 94 different countries.
The university is actively engaged in collaborative projects, networks and partnerships around the world. These include a range of educational, training and research programs supported by the European Union.
Through its commitment to internationalization, innovative research and education aligned with professional standards, Iscte prepares its students for competitive careers and thoughtful lives in the 21st century.
