ISCTE's bachelor programs span three main ares: Management Sciences, Social Sciences, and Technological Sciences.
ISCTE has consistently promoted the growth and improvement of its bachelor programs,
always paying close attention to the evolution of higher education in Portugal
and abroad, and to the employment market conditions and trends.
It offers a broad range of programs – a total of 16 programs
–, giving the highest priority to the quality of the education offered.
Most bachelor programs are structured around the major plus minor concepts.
They are also fully compliant with the Bologna Declaration, with the sole
exception of Architecture,
which from academic year 2007/2008 on will
offer an integrated five year bachelor and master program.
In portuguese parlance, the Bologna style bachelor degree corresponds
to a "licenciatura" (which previously required from four to five years
to complete), the master degree corresponds to a "mestrado", and
the doctoral degree corresponds to a "doutoramento".
