EnglishWhat Study Programmes Does Iscte Offer and How Are They Organized on the Website?
Updated
Iscte's website (iscte-iul.pt) organizes its study offerings under a single Programmes menu, which lists seven categories: Undergraduate, Masters, PhD, Post-Graduations, Short-term programmes, Isolated curricular courses, and Soft Skills Lab. Each category is a separate entry in the navigation, so visitors can go directly to the level they want rather than browsing a combined catalogue. An Applications section sits alongside these entries in the same navigation, which is where prospective students move from exploring programmes to applying.
The programme categories
The menu structure reflects the institution's range of offerings, from full degree programmes to shorter or partial study options:
| Category | What it typically covers |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate | First-cycle degree programmes |
| Masters | Second-cycle degree programmes |
| PhD | Doctoral programmes |
| Post-Graduations | Specialized post-graduate training |
| Short-term programmes | Non-degree, shorter-format study |
| Isolated curricular courses | Individual course units taken outside a full programme |
| Soft Skills Lab | Skills-focused offering listed as its own entry |
The presence of isolated curricular courses and a Soft Skills Lab alongside the degree levels shows the site is designed for more than full-degree applicants — it also serves people who want to take specific course units or short skills training.
How to find a programme
- Open the site and locate the Programmes menu in the main navigation.
- Choose the level you are interested in (for example, Masters or PhD). Each level has its own page reached from this menu.
- Review the programmes listed on that level's page.
- When you are ready to apply, use the Applications entry from the same navigation area.
The expected result at each step is a page specific to that level or to the application process, rather than a general overview page.
Practical points to keep in mind
- Language: the site is available in Portuguese and English (PT/EN), and some pages carry an automatic Google Translate notice. The site itself states it does not take responsibility for the results of that automatic translation, so for details that matter — such as programme requirements — check the Portuguese version or the original page content where possible.
- Navigation depth: the menu uses expandable sub-items (shown with arrow controls), so on smaller screens you may need to open a category before its pages appear.
- Beyond programmes: the same navigation also covers Study, Research, International, and News sections, which is useful if you want information on exchange, research, or student services rather than a programme listing.
If your goal is simply to see what Iscte teaches, start with the Programmes menu and work down by level; if your goal is to apply, go to Applications after identifying the programme.
