As part of the same reform, the PhD in Economics and the PhD in Finance were created, which included a Viva examination to defend the thesis on a subject chosen from among those determined by the School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">1972<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>ISCEF changed its name to Instituto Superior de Economia, as part of a new reform of the degree offer, in which the degree in Finance was replaced by the degree in Organisation and Business Management, which was later revised in 1976 and again in 1986, becoming  the degree in Management from that year onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">1979<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The Postgraduate education was initiated, with the advent of the course in Mathematical Methods for Economics and Business Management. In 1981, the Masters in Economics was created and later in 1983, the Masters in Mathematical Methods for Economics and Business Management and in Organisation and Business Management were created, both of which have since changed their denomination respectively to Applied Mathematics for Economics and Management and Management. The PhD in Management was also initiated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">1989<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the approval of the law on university autonomy, the statutes of the Universidade T\u00e9cnica de Lisboa included changing the name of the Instituto Superior de Economia to ISEG \u2013 Instituto Superior de Economia e Gest\u00e3o.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">1990&#039;s<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1990, the degree course in Applied Mathematics for Economics and Management was launched. \nThe degree offer was expanded during the 1990s to include postgraduate courses and the Masters in Accounting, Management, Economics, and Finance and also the PhDs in Applied Mathematics for Economics and Management, Economic and Social History, and Economic and Organisational Sociology were added to the existent PhDs in Economics and Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">2007<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>ISEG\u2019s MBA is accredited by the AMBA \u2013 Association of MBAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">2013<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>ISEG was integrated into the new ULisboa \u2013 Universidade de Lisboa, as a result of the merger between the Technical University of Lisbon and the University of Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">2015 &#8211; 2018<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The degrees in Management, Economics and Finance started to be taught in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">2018<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>ISEG was awarded AACSB accreditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">2020<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The Master in Finance entered the Financial Times Global Rankings for the first time ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">2022<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>ISEG entered the Financial Times Global Rankings for the first time ever.<br>ISEG Executive Education entered the Financial Times Global Rankings for the first time ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-iseg-red-color has-text-color\">2024<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>ISEG has obtained EQUIS accreditation, joining the restricted group of triple crown business schools (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA), a distinction awarded to less than 1% of business schools worldwide. With this international recognition, ISEG becomes the 130th business school worldwide, confirming the excellence of its academic offer, research, internationalization and impact on society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Honour Roll<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A list of all those students who successfully concluded their Bachelors degree with an average final grade of 16 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/to-study-2\/scholarships-awards\/honor-roll\/\">ISEG\u2019s Honour Roll<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ISEG is Portugal's first economics and management school and is part of the country's largest and most renowned university, the University of Lisbon, or ULisboa. 1759 Officially [...]","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1388,"parent":176,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hist\u00f3ria - ISEG<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/\",\"name\":\"Hist\u00f3ria - ISEG\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/history-16x9-2.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-12-30T18:30:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-01-28T15:58:43+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/history-16x9-2.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/history-16x9-2.jpg\",\"width\":1080,\"height\":608},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/about\/history\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Sobre\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/sobre\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Hist\u00f3ria\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.iseg.ulisboa.pt\/en\/\",\"name\":\"ISEG\",\"description\":\"Lisbon School of Economics &amp;
