Iscte is an innovative and dynamic university focused on the development of teaching and research.
The mission of Iscte is to support, prepare, and stimulate its students so they can contribute in a significant and distinctive way to community life. Currently offering more than 100 degree programs across its various fields of study, Iscte presents itself as an innovative and influential institution that addresses societal challenges through its educational and research work.
International experience is a fundamental component of a student's curriculum. For this reason, the university has an internationalisation strategy that aims to increase globalisation in teaching, research, and innovation. Iscte has agreements and cooperation protocols with universities around the world, welcomes foreign researchers and teachers, offers joint degree programs with some of the most renowned international universities, and promotes international experience for its students, who represent more than 120 nationalities.
Located in the heart of Lisbon – selected by multiple international organisations as the best tourist destination in the world – Iscte is the only public university in the country with a centralised campus where all fields of study share the same space, thereby fostering interpersonal contact, interaction, and interdisciplinarity. Students value the transdisciplinary environment at Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon. Diligence and warmth define the relationships between students and teachers, fostering a relaxed atmosphere that maintains academic rigour. This scholastic quality is encouraged by the coexistence of all four schools on the same campus.
For Iscte, the promotion of sustainability in its multiple dimensions – environmental, social and economic – makes up part of its responsibility as a higher education institution. Iscte was the first Portuguese university to receive an International Environmental Certification, implementing routine measures across its institutional management, teaching, research, and university development practices to guarantee sustainability. To ensure career sustainability for their students, all undergraduate study programs also necessarily incorporate curricular units on transferable competencies. Students develop skills such as the ability to identify problems, flexibility, a positive attitude, strong communication, teamwork, and other characteristics that help them face the challenges of academia and the labour market.
At Iscte, one can find a series of groups that host activities that contribute not only to personal and professional development but also to a unique and unforgettable academic experience. With more than 16 student associations, a Tuna Académica, and a students' union, among other groups, there is no shortage of opportunities for developing personal projects and extracurricular activities. Furthermore, Social Action Services are available to the student community to ensure, when necessary, financial support through social action scholarships, work-study, and housing.
With an employability rate over 96% among recent graduates, Iscte promotes students' access to the labour market in numerous development activities throughout the year.
