Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias

Biggest private university in Portugal.

Good ambience and the staff as well...

It's a fantastic university. I study film producing. The school has the best film equipment in all of Lisbon.

Does Portuguese people even know how to pee inside the WC?

I did my internship to the architecture field in Universidade Lusofona. Really unorganized, not many things to learn from the teachers. Teachers dont even come on time. Right now im waiting for two hours to present. Still novody came. Dont waste your money and time

Let's get one thing straight - this university is the worst possible choice for international students (like Erasmus exchange). There are no classes for foreigners (there is neither organisation for international students nor some kind of buddy-program), I had to enroll on a classes with local students. As the main language was portuguese, professors decided that I will learn on my own or write some essays and it will be fine. That's where the fun begins. Almost none of them told me what exactly should I do, it was also hard to catch them as sometimes they weren't even coming for their own classes (!). Some of them hardly ever replied for emails, and even if they did, it took them a month (on average). Evaluation system is another, long story. For example, one of the professors assigned a presentation for me, and other one was evaluating it - the latter one said that the topic is wrong, even though the first one gave me clear instructions what to prepare. Organisation isn't any better. International office wasn't helpful as they left me on my own, also replied for urgent matters after few weeks and provided misleading informations. It was terrible experience, I'm glad it's finally over.

Don't recommend this "university" to anybody. Here is reasons why: - stuff is unbelievably unprofessional, anytime you have a problems and really ask help, they just reply: "everything is in internet", they will never help you with anything. - another point of their unprofessionalism, that communication between departments is really poor. so if you should do smth in one department(let's say erasmus), they will not automatically provide this information to other departments they should provide and you gonna have problems because of their irresponsibility or just no carrying about you. how they solve any problems? they just put a fees to your account and you just always have to pay. - about payments, this "university" mission is just take as much as they can money from you, not to make from you a great specialist. you gonna pay for everything they can create. they even change prices for stable payment what you had in your contract. literally you can triple price for university they telling you. - okay, you can ask why they changing price or adding some fee or why points for subjects from you account disappearing (so you have to pay for retaking exam and retake it again), the answers on that kind of questions: just ignoring your emails or "we don't know, it should be like this" or just will make an idiot from you, that it's all your fault and you should know everything. One more time, before you apply your docs there, reach current or ex students in fb group and ask about this horrible place.

Could be the worst university for erasmus students in Lisbon due to their international office workers and their attitudes. If you are an erasmus student, and reading the comments for your application process, you probably noticed that bad comments are from non-native, international students. However, the comments which seen as okay, come from Portuguese students. I, personally, have seen the way the erasmus office workers do work, and also heard it from different erasmus students at this university. None of them was okay, sadly. I have been waiting for a single signature on my document since March 17/19! They sent a document with a signature in June, and the interesting part is that they signed the wrong paper, and did not even check if it was the correct one! I sent them an email right away, however, I am still waiting for a single signature since March, and it is almost end of June... I did not heard any good comments about the international office workers from any erasmus students at Lusufona. But I think Lisbon is worth it...
