Universities
Study in Portugal
Portugal is one of Europe's most welcoming destinations for international students — affordable tuition, a straightforward student visa process, and a 2-year post-study work permit that puts you on the path to EU residency. Our consultants work with three outstanding institutions across Lisbon and Porto.
Lisbon
Portugal's Capital · Europe's Sunniest City
Nova School of Business & Economics (Nova SBE)
Portugal's highest-ranked business school and the only Portuguese institution in the FT Global Top 50. Our consultants consider Nova SBE a priority placement for students in Finance, Data Science, and Business — with a stunning beachside campus opened in 2021 and 94% employment within 3 months of graduation. Predominantly English.
Nova School of Law
Portugal's most internationally regarded law faculty. Our consultants recommend Nova School of Law for Indian advocates and law graduates seeking EU legal qualifications — with 8+ English LLM programmes, Indian Bar compatibility, and Camões Institute scholarships available.
Porto
Portugal's Second City · Thriving Tech Hub
Universidade do Porto
Portugal's second-largest research university and the best-value EU tech degree for Indian engineering students. Our consultants highlight Porto's thriving tech district — home to Farfetch, Natixis, and hundreds of European employers hiring graduates directly — as a major advantage for software engineering, data science, and computing students. Living costs from €700/month.
