Study abroad in Lisbon, Portugal with AIFS Abroad and earn college credit in one of Europe’s most popular student cities. With semester, summer, January Term and academic year options at Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE), you can take courses taught in English while experiencing life in Portugal’s coastal capital.
Lisbon has a lot to offer between classes—from colorful neighborhoods and tiled streets to local cafés, markets, live Fado music and nearby beaches. Ride the city’s famous trams, explore Belém, take in views from one of Lisbon’s many miradouros, or head to nearby Sintra. With a lower cost of living than many other European capitals, it can also be a budget-friendly home base for your time abroad.
Academic options vary by program and include business, economics, management, marketing, communications and social sciences. Semester students can earn up to 15 credits, while flexible summer sessions make it possible to study in Lisbon for a shorter period. ISCTE Business School is AACSB and AMBA accredited, making Lisbon an especially strong option for business students.
AIFS Abroad programs in Lisbon include housing, cultural and social activities, excursions, comprehensive insurance, on-site support and 24/7 emergency assistance. Summer programs also include a public transportation pass for exploring the city.
Whether you want to study business, take courses toward your degree or experience college life in Portugal, studying abroad in Lisbon gives you the chance to live and learn in a European capital with the coast close by.

The Portugal j-term trip was such a great experience! There were so many options for activities and cultural experiences organized by the University, but it’s also a great location to explore in smaller groups too. The University’s program included students from all over the world, which I thought added good depth to the class.
