How to Study Abroad in Lisbon
Prepare to Study Abroad
Set Goals
Studying abroad in Lisbon means more than riding trams and sipping espresso by the river. Setting a few clear goals will help you go deeper into the culture, language, and city life.
- Level up your Portuguese. Even if you're just starting, practice daily. Ordering pastéis de nata or chatting with locals builds confidence fast.
- Dive into Lisbon’s layered history. From ancient Roman ruins to stories of colonial trade, there’s a lot more here than just pretty facades.
- Live like a Lisboeta. Skip the tourist routes once in a while. Shop at Mercado da Ribeira, ride the ferry to Cacilhas, or find a favorite pastelaria in your neighborhood.
Understand the benefits
Lisbon is a student-friendly capital with the perfect blend of affordability, vibrant academics, and creative energy.
- World-class academics with international focus. Study at top universities like Universidade de Lisboa or Nova SBE, both offering courses in English and strong global programs.
- Endless things to do. Think rooftop sunsets, nearby beaches, late-night fado, and weekend train rides to Porto or Lagos.
- A lower cost of living than other Western European cities. Whether it's rent or a café meal, Lisbon stretches your student budget further than places like Paris or Amsterdam.
Things to know
A few practical things can make your Lisbon experience even smoother.
- Classes - If you're transferring credits, sort that out before landing. Not every school lines up exactly.
- Housing - Some programs include it, others don’t. Many students live in shared apartments or student residencies around neighborhoods like Bairro Alto or Intendente.
- Language - It’s not required, but even knowing the essentials helps you navigate better and opens more doors locally.
