A global vision of business. Students will regularly be faced with cases and testimonials from the international business scene and have a chance to interact with a faculty that has wide-reaching international business experience. In addition, students will be given a course, lasting the whole academic year, entitled Doing Business Internationally. The course covers the world's fastest-growing economies, such as Brazil, China and India, and explores the different political, cultural, economic and managerial climates of different geographical zones.
Direct contact with a new environment, culture and language.
A key emphasis on the personal development of each student is a critical feature of our programmes. A parallel programme is offered for exploring and developing every dimension of behaviour, attitude, and personal skills. This focus is designed, not only to make students better prepared to lead people, but to make them more eager and able to foster innovation and embrace change.
A networking process of teambuilding and experience exchange from day one. The programme starts with a residential weekend aimed at accelerating personal contact, team chemistry and programme awareness. This spirit is reinforced year round with many other activities.
An applied business approach. As a final compulsory requirement, each student has to submit a written project report (the master's thesis), either after interning in Portugal or abroad, or based on a project selected by the student him/herself that covers a specific business situation and takes in the experiences dealt with in the programme.
Experience of living in one of the safest and most cosmopolitan cities in Europe. With very competitive living costs, a warm climate, sandy beaches and a highly cosmopolitan and multicultural population, this is Europe's west coast capital.

About

ISCTE Business School aims to play an increasing role in a global European network for the exchange of students, knowledge and experiences. We are fully committed to building an international dimension into our academic programs, research activities and institutional networks. We have links with institutions on all the continents that we want to strengthen. Being a bridge from Europe to the world is not only part of our mission, but a legacy from our history, culture and geographical position as well, and a major contribution that we want to add to our European partnerships and shared projects.

In the world we live, adopting a global perspective, particularly in the fields of Management and Business, has become an absolute necessity. ISCTE Business School wants to play an active role by offering Programmes aimed at an international audience and by promoting the exchange of students and staff. We believe that this exchange contributes to the personal, cultural and professional enrichment of the ones involved, leads to a more capable university and also, through the increased mutual understanding, to a better world to live in.

The ISCTE-IUL library provides a service to all, departments and schools of the Institute in the fields of Social Science, Business Studies and Technological Sciences.

Student life

Living in Lisbon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a unique combination of history and modernity. It is a city with an international flavour with a population made up of different races, different backgrounds and different cultures where everyone feels welcomed.

Location

Lisbon is Europes west coast capital and Europes gateway to Africa and the Americas. Bathed in an almost year-round shimmering light, it is also known as the white city.

Climate

The citys cheerful brightness, its warm and friendly atmosphere and mild, Atlantic climate, combined with its old-world Mediterranean charm, and warm sunny winters and cool summers, make it a unique and inviting place to live and study. With its huge expanse of Atlantic coastline, Lisbon offers effortless access to some of the best beaches in Europe and is a stones throw away from landmark tourist destinations and well-known historical sites such as Estoril and Sintra.
