João Duque
Dean and Professor of Finance. IseG
It is a huge honour and a great satisfaction for me to address you as the president of an institution which is amongst those at the forefront of economic and business thinking and decision-making in Portugal.
as we have reached the celebration of our 101st anniversary, in may 2012, there seems no doubt that the success of a great number of our ex-students is an indication of the continuing quality of our educational model. In the globalized and multicultural world of today the only way forward is through learning appropriate ways to exchange goods, services and ideas, while at the same time giving an intelligent hearing to “the other”, however different they may be.
at Iseg we teach people to think and to take decisions based on true individual choice rather than any kind of pre-defined model. We pride ourselves on having a teaching
and research staff whose achievements in international research publishing are on a par with the best Portuguese business and management institutes.
We are equally proud of our faculty members and researchers, who are leaders amongst the top Portuguese business and economics schools in terms of international scientific publications. We are also proud to have a wide range of course units lectured in english in the three cycles of studies: undergraduate, four master degrees entirely in english and one doctoral programme. our goal is to continue increasing our english offer, always maintaining the high quality of teaching that our students are used to receiving.
We are proud of our 101 years of existence, especially of the success of our students. In 101 years we have helped to realize childhood dreams and develop talent, always looking
to the future. the influence of our school on Portuguese society is an aspect that differentiates us from other schools and is a motive for rejoicing!
With this responsibility and the certainty that Iseg will continue to be a reference in the economic and business sciences in terms of teaching and research, we invite you to learn more about us through this brochure.
enjoy youR exCHange exPeRIenCe at tHe sCHooL tHat CReates LeadeRs!

LLP - LIFe LOnG LearnInG
PrOGramme/erasmus
In the academic year 2007/2008, the socrates/ erasmus programme reached an end and it was replaced by the new LLP - Lifelong Learning Programme. LLP’s first stage is scheduled for 2007/2013.
the Lifelong Learning Programme comprises four sectoral programmes on school education (Comenius), higher education (erasmus), vocational training (Leonardo da Vinci) and adult education (grundtvig), and is completed by a transversal programme focusing on policy cooperation, languages, information and communication technology and dissemination and exploitation of results. at last, a jean monnet programme is oriented towards european integration and the provision of support for certain key institutions and associations active in the field.
Lifelong Learning Programme is an action plan of the european Community in the field of education and training. Its global goal is, in collaboration with the participating countries, to help students of all ages and social groups to improve their knowledge.
under erasmus (one of the sectorial sub-programmes of the LLP), students can study in any other eligible Higher education Institution, for a period of minimum three months and not exceeding one year.
this period must follow a programme of studies, academically recognised by each home university.
the mobility of students also includes student placements in enterprises, training centers, research centers and other organizations. the aim of the new programme is to contribute through lifelong learning to the development of the Community as an advanced knowledge society, with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. It aims to foster interaction, cooperation and mobility between education and training systems within the Community, so that they become a world quality reference.

assessment
the academic year is divided into two semesters. a student may attend courses chosen from 2, 3 or 4 different academic departments (economics, management, mathematics and social sciences). foreign students take the same type of examination as Portuguese students, who are continuously assessed in a number of different ways. these may include formal examinations at the end of each semester, participation and class attendance, group projects and the presentation of case studies or essays. you will also be asked to work with other students to illustrate your ability to work as part of a team and be actively involved, encouraged to ask questions and join in discussions and debate with your teachers.
In some courses, foreign students will be allowed to do their reports and written examinations in english or another foreign language but this must be agreed upon by teachers on a case-by-case basis.
a final mark is given at the end of each exam period.
grades are given on a scale with a maximum score of 20 and the minimum passing grade is 10.
students who fail in the normal exam, 1st period of exams, have a second opportunity in a final exam, 2nd period of exams (please consult the academic calendar).
examination dates and results are to be found online at our website.
on successful completion of studies, students are automatically issued with an official certificate of studies. this document is subsequently delivered to the student’s home university one month later.
aPPLICatIOn FOr stuDent
mObILIty/erasmus
the school of economics and management of the technical university of Lisbon welcomes applications from foreign students who are already registered at a Higher education Institution outside Portugal and who wish to take some course units from our wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
In order to make the necessary arrangements, there must be a written agreement between Iseg and the home Institution of the applicant, which describes the terms and conditions of the “mobility period” (sometimes called the “exchange period”).
to live in Portugal all students must be bearers of a travel document, such as a valid passport or a national Id card. this is the document usually presented by citizens of the european union and eea (european economic area), who have the right to move to another member state to live, study and work.
nationals of non-eu or non-eea countries must apply for a study Visa. this is a special permit issued for foreign students coming to Portugal (unless the country and Portugal have an agreement which provides exemption from visas). In this case, you can obtain the study visa from the Portuguese diplomatic representative of your country (i.e. the Portuguese embassy or Consulate). this document may be granted on various entry basis.
family members may accompany you for the period of staying, by requesting a temporary visa at the embassy or consulate of the country where they reside before coming to Portugal.
all students wishing to attend lectures at Iseg should fill in the following forms and send them to the International office of their home institution which is responsible for forwarding it to the erasmus office at Iseg (school of economics and management), within the deadlines below.

eCts – eurOPean CreDIt
transFer system
the eCts - european Credit transfer system is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme, which are specified with regard to learning and competences outcomes. one of the key objectives of the bologna declaration of june 1999 is to facilitate the recognition and transparency of periods of study abroad. With this system, the study programmes become easy to compare for all students, both local and foreign, and, as a consequence, it facilitates mobility and academic recognition among universities. on the other hand, universities are stimulated to organise and revise their study programmes in order to make them more attractive for foreign students.
eCts credits are basically a numerical value, ranging from 1 to 60, which are allocated to course units in order to describe the overall student workload required to complete them. eCts credits are a relative rather than an absolute measure of student workload. thus, the credits reflect the quantity of work that each course unit requires in relation to
many different national grading scales exist in europe. thus, in order to facilitate the mobility of students and the transference of their grades between institutions, a common eCts grading system has been developed. the eCts grading scale is based on the
WHat aRe eCts CRedIts?
WHat Is tHe eCts gRadIng
sCaLe?
the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of academic study at the higher education institution - that is, work involved in lectures, seminars, practical work, tutorials, fieldwork, personal study (e.g. your own studies carried out in the library or at home), examinations or other assessment activities. so, you can see that eCts credits are based on the overall student workload and are not strictly limited to the hours of contact (in classes, for instance).
In eCts, 60 credits represent the workload of an academic year of study and normally 30 credits represent a semester and 20 credits a term. In addition to this, in case of a study period abroad the eCts credits ensure that the programme will be reasonable in terms of workload.
combined use of keywords with short explanations and alphabetical definitions, ranging from a to f. the eCts grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis. the aim of the scale is to provide an instrument of transparency within the european higher education system, to build bridges and foster partnerships among institutions, as well as to broaden the choices available to students. the system makes it easier for institutions to recognize the learning achievements of their students through the use of commonly understood measurements – credits and grades - and it also provides a means to interpret national systems of higher education.
eCts is based on three core elements: information (on study programmes and student achievement), mutual agreement (between the partner institutions and the student) and the use of eCts credits (which reflect the overall student workload).
as mentioned before, the grading system is an essential issue in the academic recognition process of international mobility programmes. grading scales vary according to host countries and institutions, accounting for the difficulty and complexity levels of the equivalence process. therefore, in order to overcome this wide complex universe of national grading systems throughout europe, a grading scale has been developed in the framework of eCts (european Credit transfer system) to make the comparison between different national scales easier and the assessment process more transparent. the eCts grading scale allows the qualitative assessment of student’s performance in the course units (subjects) attended at the host institution. firstly, this grading system divides students into two categories: “pass” and “fail”; then, those obtaining passing grades are divided into five subgroups and an eCts grade is allocated to each subgroup. the eCts grade provides additional information regarding the student’s achievements in a specific subject. It is based on the rank of a student in a given assessment, i.e., how he/she performed relative to other students in the same class (or in a significant group of students). It is important to note that the eCts grade does not intend to replace the local grade (see topic below); the main objective is to provide qualitative information about the student’s academic performance. therefore, it is based on a relative grade that can be represented as follows:
the eCts credits have been fully introduced in all graduate programmes offered by Iseg. a credit indicates the average amount of time necessary to fulfill the course requirements: attendance of lectures, seminars, workshops, practical exercises, preparation of papers and exams. sixty credits corresponds the average workload of a full-time student during one academic year. eCts is based on the principle that 60 credits measure the workload of a full-time student during one academic year.
Credits in eCts can only be obtained after successful completion of the work required and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes achieved.

means:
Home and host institutions have to prepare and exchange transcripts of records for each student participating in eCts. this process is required before and after the period of study abroad. Copies of these transcripts are given to the student for his/her personal file. the home institution recognises the amount of credit received by the students coming from partner institutions abroad, so that the credits for the course units replace the credits which would have been obtained from the home institution. the Learning agreement provides the student a guarantee in advance that the credits for the approved programme of study will be transferred.
the first days in a new environment may not be easy. In order to facilitate your integration and the contact with local students, Iseg has set up a buddies’ programme, in which local students voluntary offer their help and support to new fellows.

If you want to learn about Portuguese language and society, why not enroll in a course of Portuguese as a foreign Language. there are many Portuguese language courses to which you may apply in Lisbon. as mentioned above, in recent years this school has provided students with a Portuguese language course. When you arrive, you can sign up for the course and pay a fee of 50 euros. at the end of the course you will receive a certificate. If there is a minimum of 10 students enrolled for the Portuguese language course, it will be held at Iseg. If not, the students will be distributed within the other schools of the technical university. the total duration of the course is 40 hours (usually 4 times a week, 2 hours each day).
In case you are interested in attending this course, please fill in the attendance of Portuguese Course for foreigners and send it back to us together with your exchange student application process. by sending us this document you are just demonstrating your interest in attending the Portuguese Language Course.

Lisbon is just a few hours away from north america (about 6 to 8 hours) and 2 to 3 hours from most european cities. Lisbon’s international airport (aeroporto da Portela) is only 7 km away from the city centre. a complete public transport network is available in the main towns.
In Lisboa there are three kinds of public transport: buses and trams (Carris) and underground (metro). the bus fares range from 1,75€ to 3,00€ and the metro fare is 1,25 €. If you wish, you may choose to purchase a monthly ticket for buses, metro and trams at the price of about 32€, which allows you to travel as many times as you wish.
a simple and cheap way of getting from the airport to the city centre is by bus, take the aerobus number 91 at the airport, service begins at 07:45am and ends at 22:30pm. buses pass every 20 minutes, and the ticket price is 3,50€. get off at av. fontes Pereira de melo bus stop. from there you take the number 727 bus to go to Iseg and get off at Conde barão / av. d. Carlos I bus stop. alternatively, since the Lisbon airport is very close to the City Centre, you can reach Iseg by taxi (ask about the fare beforehand and for a receipt at destination), they are
available 24-hours a day, the journey time to the city centre lasts 15-30 minutes and costs between 10-15 euR, ask to come to Rua das francesinhas, near the Parliament (assembleia da República).
taxis are mostly painted cream with a roof-light to identify them. However, some taxis keep the old colours, green and black. In towns, taxis use taximeters, but outside urban boundaries, the service is charged by the kilometer, and includes the price for the driver’s return to his starting point. from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the fare increases 20%. It is usual to give a tip of 10% on top of the price registered. Luggage is charged according to a fixed rate. all taxis have an updated chart in two languages.

the erasmus office is not responsible for settling students in accommodation but tries to do its best providing all the necessary orientation and information for all incoming students. for this purpose, it works together with the aforementioned group of local students.
accommodation in Halls of Residence is extremely scarce and only 1% of foreign students manage to get a place there. to overcome this problem, renting a room in an apartment, shared with other students looking for an extra flat mate to share bills, is the best solution and a less expensive option. Remember that finding lodgings in Lisbon can be difficult, especially if you are staying for less than a year. While seeking for permanent accommodation the best option for first nights is to stay at a youth Hostel. make sure you have a reservation.

It is one of the twenty-seven european union member states and joined the eu in 1986 (the european economic Community, at the time).
the country has a surface area of 92,100 sq km within the Iberian Peninsula, with a shape of a rectangle of some 560 km in length and 220 km in breadth, and about 10 million inhabitants. the population is largely concentrated in the capital, Lisbon (about three million people including periphery) and in other coastal cities on the atlantic, mainly oporto.

Lisbon, capital city, is located on the right side of the tagus river, in the center of Portugal, which is found in south-western europe, bordered by spain on the north and east and by the atlantic ocean on the south and west. It is the westernmost city in continental europe and lies more or less in the centre of the country, approximately 300 km from the algarve in the south and 400 km from the northern border with spain.
It has an area of 84 sq. km. and a population
arOunD LIsbOn
of 556 797 inhabitants. the area known as greater Lisbon has a population of 2,1 million in an area of 2750 sq. km.
the capital city of Portugal is built on seven hills overlooking the tagus River, the very soul of the city.
the city grew from the hill of the castle. Phoenicians, greeks and Carthaginians founded colonies here. Romans consolidated their port and fishing vocation; the polis developed in the imperial itinerary. With the barbarian occupations by the “alamos”, the germanic tribes and the Visigoths the towns declined. the flourishing came with the moorish occupation from year 719 to year 1147. Conquered by king afonso Henriques in the year 1147, the city prospered with the permanence of the court and its urban character was reinforced as capital of the realm (year of 1256). Lisboa became a european mercantile centre through the discoveries carried out by the Portuguese in the 16th century.
In 1755, it was devastated by an earthquake, in which it is believed that about 30 000 lives were lost and more than 9 000 buildings were destroyed. the city was rebuilt for that day and age under the direction of the marquês de Pombal. the downtown part of Lisboa still retains its 18th century character. over the centuries, Lisboa went through wide changes, although many traces of the city’s rich and troubled past have been retained. In
1994, Lisboa received the title of european Capital of Culture, and the city was promoted throughout the entire year in a wide variety of events.

the memories of the golden age – a period when Lisbon became the capital city of the realm and one of the most famous and cosmopolitan centers of 16th century europe - are etched in torre de belém, mosteiro dos jerónimos and Padrão dos descobrimentos. to the east, the city shows a new face, so clearly expressed in the modern architecture of the site that housed expo ‘98, the last world exhibition of the 20th century, devoted to the theme of the oceans, i.e., to Portugal’s contribution to the discoveries and sea voyages. this new area is known as Parque das nações.
In 2004, Lisbon hosted the european football Championship. In the beginning of this Century, Lisboa is still a city of many contrasts, a combination of modern and ancient that fascinates those who visit her.
either in or near Lisbon you will find beaches, countryside, mountains and many areas of historical interest.

according to the constitution enacted in 1976, Portugal’s chief of state is the President of the Republic, who is directly elected for a five-year term.

downtown - the area frequently called baixa (downtown) comprises the Rossio, the augusta street and its transversal streets, the recently renewed Chiado and the Liberdade (freedom) avenue.
this is one of the oldest commercial areas in Lisbon. you will easily find streets named after the business or job that was done there once. Prata (silver) street, ouro (gold) street and ferreiros (blacksmiths) street are some of the examples we can quote.
shopping Centres - shopping centres are almost everywhere in the city. bigger or smaller, they will do their best to suit your needs. We decided to list the bigger surfaces: Colombo, Vasco da gama, amoreiras and el Corte Inglés.
these areas include several shops of different branches of business, including restaurants and leisure facilities like movie theatres and mini playground sets.
almost all business establishments in Portugal are open on weekdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm and between 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm, and on saturdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm. there are many shopping centres that are open from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm everyday, including weekends.
In Lisbon, choose from the wonderful international golf courses, the sandy beaches with a huge assortment of water sports or the many sports associations with well-equipped gyms, swimming pools, etc.
In the surrounding areas, you can find 18 golf courses just a few minutes away from the city centre. set in great landscapes and made for those who love golf and refuse to renounce the quality of life factor, these golf courses are equipped with all the facilities that the most discerning players demand.
surfing, body boarding, sailing, windsurfing and all sorts of water sports can be found in beaches like guincho (that has some of the best conditions for surf and windsurf), Cascais and Costa de Caparica. this last one boasts a 15 kilometer stretch of golden, sandy shoreline.
also not to be missed are the surrounding areas of setúbal and sesimbra. besides having good conditions for water sports, both these regions offer spectacular scenery and are definitely worth a visit.
one of the best ways to explore the natural beauty of Lisbon’s surrounding countryside is on horseback. the magnificent landscape of the Costa do estoril, particularly the sintra-Cascais natural Park, is best appreciated on horseback, providing a truly memorable day out for visitor riders.
there’s a wide range of bars and pubs in Lisbon, and visitors should not leave the city without doing some bar-hopping in bairro alto, docas and Parque das nações. Whether you’re looking for a traditional, down-to-earth tavern, a sleek bar, or a cosy chill-out atmosphere, there is always place for you.
