Faculdade De Medicina Da Universidade De Lisboa

What Faculdade De Medicina Da Universidade De Lisboa does

Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Lisboa (Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon) is a constituent medical school within the Universidade de Lisboa (ULisboa), Portugal's largest public university ecosystem formed in 2013 through the merger of the former Universidade de Lisboa and Instituto Superior Técnico. The Faculty operates as part of a 19-school, 51,000+ student university that delivers undergraduate, integrated master's, master's, and doctoral degree programs, alongside lifelong learning via the M50 program and postgraduate diplomas through the Escola de Pós-Graduação. It contributes to a research ecosystem of 69 research units and 21 associate laboratories, with the broader ULisboa producing 22,643 scientific articles between 2018 and 2021.

The Faculty's product portfolio centers on medical and nutrition education plus clinical and biomedical research, supported by institutional infrastructure including the FenixEdu academic management system, an E-Learning platform, the ULisboa Research Portal, and a €20+ million digital infrastructure investment for science and innovation. Specialized offerings include the international Doctorate in Planetary Health, the Verão na ULisboa summer program, the Tour@ULisboa campus visit program, and an AI Portuguese text simplification tool launched by Ciências ULisboa. Partnerships span the European University Unite! alliance, EIT Health, EIT InnoEnergy, EIT Urban Mobility, ERC, Fulbright, the Confucius Institute, and the ULisboa Shanghai international branch, alongside formal recognition of research partners such as Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes.

As a public, non-profit institution under Portuguese higher-education law, the Faculty generates revenue through state budget allocations, tuition fees, and competitive research grants rather than market-priced products. Customer segments are split between domestic Portuguese students and international students (11,000 across ULisboa), with distribution occurring via the national university admission contest, dedicated international admission routes, Erasmus+ and Fulbright mobility programs, doctoral education channels, and continuing education through the postgraduate school. Marketing combines national and international education fairs (Futurália, Qualifica, Salão do Estudante, NAFSA), digital channels, and structured campus visit programs to drive enrollment across both segments.
