Lifelong LearningLLP/ERASMUS
In the academic year 2007/2008, the Socrates/Erasmus program reached an end and it
was replaced by the new LLP - Lifelong Learning Program. 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 daVinci) 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 fosterinteraction, cooperation and mobility between education and training systems within the
Community, so that they become a world quality reference.

language competence is not an entrance requirement. There are different Portugueselanguage courses to which you may apply in Lisbon.
In recent years this school has provided students with a Portuguese language course.It
is aimed at providing the fundamental tools of the Portuguese language in order to
facilitate your studies and your daily life in Portugal. When you arrive, you can sign up
for the course and pay a fee of 50 euros, which will be given back to you at the end of
the course together with a certificate. This means that the course is free of charge for
exchange students. 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 theother schools of the Technical University. The total duration of the course is 40 hours (3
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 Foreignersand 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 (see also page 26).
Upon arrival at ISEG, you will receive the detailed timetable and you will be requested to
confirm your participation. At that moment, and if you confirm, you will be allocated aplace in the course and you will be committed to attend it entirely. If you give up before
its end, you will not be refunded with the 50 euros fee paid.

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 writtenexaminations 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, 1stperiod of exams, have a second opportunity in
a final exam, 2ndperiod 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.

Entry Procedures/VISA
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 toanother Member State to live, study and work. Even so, they should apply for a
residence permit within 90 days of entry into Portugal to the Department of Immigration
and Border Control. Confirmation of enrolment in a recognized school or college is
required, as well as proof of health insurance coverage.
Nationals of non-EU or non-EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) 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 diplomaticrepresentative of your country (i.e. the Portuguese Embassy or Consulate). This
document may be granted on various entry basis and is valid for a maximum period of
one year.
Family members may accompany you for the period of staying, by requesting a

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.
What are ECTS credits ?
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
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 athome), examinations or other assessment activities. So, you can se 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.

What is the ECTS grading scale?
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 commonECTS grading system has been developed.
The ECTS grading scale is based on the 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 ofcommonly 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).
The ECTS Grading Scale
As mentioned above, 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 students 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 subgroup and an ECTS grade is allocated to each subgroup.
8/14/2019 Welcome Guide Lisboa
23/63
Welcome Guide Academic Year 2010/2011
22
The ECTS grade provides additional information regarding the students 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 thestudents academic performance. Therefore, it is based on a relative grade that can be
represented as follows:
ECTS
Grade
% of successful students normally
achieving the gradeDefinition
A 10Excellent: outstanding performance with
only minor errors.
B 25Very Good: above average standard but
with some errors.
C 30Good: generally sound work with a number
of notable errors.
D 25Satisfactory: fair but with significant
shortcomings.
E 10Sufficient: performance meets the minimum
criteria.
F -Fail: some more work required before credit
can be awarded.
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 afull-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.

10 - 13 Sufficient
14 - 15 Good
16 - 17 Good with distinction18 - 19 Very Good with distinction
20 Very Good with distinction and honors
In the national grading system, the results are represented in a scale from 0 to 20, and
the minimum mark required to approval is 10.
How are ECTS credits transferred among higher education institutions?
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 theapproved programme of study will be transferred.
The ECTS credit system provides transparency through the following means:
1. ECTS credits, which are a numerical value allocated to course units in order to
describe the student workload required to complete them;
2. The transcript of records, in which the students learning achievements are fully
displayed in a comprehensive way, so as to be understood and easily transferablefrom one institution to another;
3. The learning agreement, which covers the programme of study to be taken by the
student, as well as the ECTS credits to be awarded in case of satisfactory
completion. This involves the commitment of both home and host institutions, as well
as of the student.

Buddiess Programme
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.

student from ISEG will help you in your social and academic integration. In this
procedure, the Erasmus Office will have into consideration the course you will be
attending, so that your Buddy Erasmus can be more helpful.

Useful Information for International Students
Accommodation
The Erasmus Office (GEI) is not responsible for settling students in accommodation buttries 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 forless 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.
University Residence
The halls of residence have no single rooms; each room is shared by two or three
students, and has wash-basin facilities. There are also shared living room, kitchen and
bathroom facilities. Though crockery and cutlery is not provided, you can purchase
whatever you need on the spot. The neighbouring area has many low-price shops where
such items can be bought inexpensively. If such accommodation appeals to you, please
state this in your accommodation request so we make arrangements.
ANJAF Residence
With the purpose of offering a housing quality service to all the students, as well as a
pleasant space to study.
ANJAF offers the possibility to benefit from the Centre of resources and library, the
social integration support and professional training at the same time.

vicinity. Students may also find a notice board with a variety of accommodation on offer

Youth Hostel
There are two youth hostels in Lisbon. They offer two kinds of rooms: double and
dormitory rooms, designed to accommodate up to six people. As this is normally a
temporary solution, you are expected to pay for each nights stay (including breakfast).
The youth hostel also has a restaurant (self-service) with a take-away facility. There you
can have lunch or dinner for 5. The price is 35 (low season) and 42 (high season) for

Lisbon, capital city, is located on the right side of the Tagus river, in the center ofPortugal, 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 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 thediscoveries 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 Marqus 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 citys rich and troubled past have been
8/14/2019 Welcome Guide Lisboa

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.
Source: www.utl.pt/docs/FSG.pdf
The memories of the golden age a period when Lisbon became the capital city of therealm and one of the most famous and cosmopolitan centers of 16th century Europe -
are etched in Torre de Belm, Mosteiro dos Jernimos and Padro 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 Portugals contribution to the discoveries and sea
voyages. This new area is known as Parque das Naes.
Recently, in 2004, Lisbon hosted the European Football Championship. In the beginningof 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.
The Government
Portugal has been a Republic since the overthrow of the monarchy in 1910. After a long
period of an authoritarian and corporative republic, which was institutionalised by
Antnio de Oliveira Salazar in 1933, a democratic state was established after the so-
called Revolution of the Carnations on April 25th, 1974.
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. The President represents the nation, is the chief of the Armed
Forces, and appoints the Prime Minister.
The elections to the Parliament in Lisbon happen every four years.
The Parliament in Lisbon is right next to ISEG.

harmony.
The cidade das sete colinas(city of the seven hills - nickname for Lisbon) is
one of the most picturesque capitals of Europe. It has strong links to the
past, reflected in the old buildings and narrow cobblestone streets. Lisbon is
a mosaic of neighbourhoods. Alfama is the oldest, with traces back to the Moors. Go tothe commercial area of Baixa to see one of Europe's oldest examples of planned
neighbourhoods. Bairro Alto for nightlife with a personal touch. Head out to Belm to see
grand architecture from the time of the discoveries. When you need a break from the city
the nearby mountain village of Sintra makes for an excellent excursion, with its famous
castles.

Shopping
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 Ingls.
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.
Sports
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 Setbal 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 theSintra-Cascais Natural Park, is best appreciated on horseback, providing a truly
memorable day out for visitor riders.
Tips for Night Life
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 Naes. Whether
you're looking for a traditional, down-to-earth tavern, a sleek bar, or a cosy chill-outatmosphere, there is always place for you.
Parks
Lisbon has several parks: Jardim da Estrela (near ISEG), where you can enjoy the sun,
the trees, relax and visit the local caf. Parque Eduardo VII (above Marqus de Pombal),
where you can find the Estufa Fria (an exuberant greenhouse, with exotics plants, trees
and fountains). Parque do Campo Grande, where you can roller-skate, swim or hire a
rowing boat on the lake, simply to relax, enjoy the sun or appreciate the refreshing
shade of the overhanging trees. Parque do Lumiar, Estrada do Lumiar. This park is
relatively isolated from the city noises and houses the Museu Nacional do Traje
(National Costume Museum) and the Museu Nacional do Teatro. (Theatre Museum)
Zoo
Lisbon's Zoo (Jardim Zoolgico metro station) is located to the Northwest of the city
centre. The Zoo has a large variety of large and small animals, housed in a peaceful,
shaded spacious setting. It has an excellent collection of exotic birds and reptiles, a
boating lake, restaurant and cafeteria facilities, as well as picnicking areas.

Transport
There is a wide inexpensive network in all towns and cities. In Lisbon, the city of the
seven hills, you can choose between bus, subway, elevators, electric trams or railway,
within the city or to the suburbs.
Like any other big city, Lisbon offers an extensive public
transport network (underground, coaches, buses, trams,
elevators, trains, boats and taxis). Do not miss the chance
to go by tram or cable car they are a great way to visit the city in a leisurely fashion.
Students can get around the city by bus or tram, both of which serve the entire city, for
as little as 1,40 per journey. Bus/tram tickets can be purchased, from the driver, or atany ticket vendor. During the rush hours the underground, or Metro, as it is called, is
recommended as a faster mode of transport. A single ticket costs only 0,75 . Subway
tickets must be purchased at the subway stops. There are passes for bus/tram/subway
trips valid for 30 days, as well as combined tourist cards that include museums and
unlimited travel on the city's tramway, bus, elevator and subway transportation (1, 2 or 3
days).
The public bus and tram company CARRIS covers almost all of the Lisbon. Generally,
buses and trams run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The subway is operated by a publiccompany - Metropolitano de Lisboa - and runs from 6 a.m to 1 a.m. The latter is
definitely the fastest way to travel around in Lisbon.
If you are in a real hurry, then take a taxi, which is also reasonably priced in Portugal.
They are usually beige or less commonly black and green, with a sign on the roof. If this
has a number (from 1 to 6) lit up this means the taxi is occupied. The green light on
means the taxi is free. In the city taximeters are used; outside the city, the service is per
kilometer, including the return trip to the pick-up point. Between 10 pm and 6 am there is
an extra tariff of 20%. It's advisable to ask for a receipt. Baggage transported in the boot
has a fixed rate.
If you're traveling outside Lisbon, then you have the choice of the train or coach service,
which enables you to reach any point in the country in a fairly efficient and inexpensive
way.

Other Useful Information and Contacts
Language
Portuguese is Latin in origin and the third most widely spoken European language in the
world. It is the mother tongue of about 200 million people. Portuguese is the official
language in a number of countries: Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique,
So Tom e Prncipe in Africa, and Brazil in South America.
In Portugal many people can understand and communicate in foreign languages.
Gastronomy
Portuguese cuisine is well known for its flavour and variety. It has been said that the
Portuguese know how to appreciate the pleasures of life, which explains why one can
eat so well here.
Since Portugal is a country of fishermen and because of its location by the sea, fresh fish
is always available, usually prepared in a simple style, normally grilled or fried, and
served with boiled potatoes, vegetables or a simple salad. Lisbon and its surrounding
areas are the ideal place to try delicious dishes of fish and seafood. However, meat is
also an excellent choice, as are the many cakes and typical desserts. The pastis de
Belm, for instance, are a must. They are made according to a special recipe originally
conceived by a nun from the Mosteiro dos Jernimos, and have been a delight for over
160 years.
The Lisbon area offers a wide range of dishes and excellent wines, which go very well
with our excellent gastronomy. Visitors can choose from the best Portuguese wines:
either red or white, or vinho verde. They all have different characteristics according to
their specific region of origin.

notes.
The bridges and the doors symbolize the dynamics of cooperation and the open spirit of
the peoples of Europe.
Cost of Living
