Classes & academics at ISCTE

In their own words.

It's a public school and the campus is actually really great. Good cafeteria, integration day well-organized. Registration and people from the administration very kind and helpful. Teachers can be very comprehensive when it comes to move an exam earlier for erasmus people.

Not really cool campus, not in the center. Registration is slow. There is a really high level of courses, I wouldn’t pick the same uni If I had the choice, or at least not in the finance specialities, because it’s not the same courses in Finance btw France and Portugal.

    The campus is nice, with several cafeterias and a 3-floor library. The main downside: classes are quite difficult, so be prepared. Attendance is not checked.

    L'enrolment Process est a suivre de près dès l'arrivée (Beaucoup de Bug pour l'emploi du temps, Carte étudiante...).

  • JadeOther 2024★ 6.0

    Nothing to say about the campus, very common. But I would for sure pick the same uni if I had to do it again!
