Shaping the future since 1911.

We find that there is always space for new ideas at ISEG. We were the first economics and management school to be founded in Portugal and are now part of the country’s biggest university, Universidade de Lisboa. We have a high standard degree offer, which is recognised by international educational entities and rankings, such as the Financial Times, AACSB and AMBA, based on a culture of constant innovation and continued cooperation between students and faculty. This strong reputation is fully based on the quality of our graduates, our faculty, our research, and the impact of our activities in the community.

We are an eclectic school, open to the world, which challenges itself to respond to changes in the various areas of society.
Today we are a school that is based on ethical principles, innovation, and entrepreneurship, where three pillars grow from these: sustainability, internationalization, and service to society.
