It offers a wide range of academic programs across many disciplines and has a strong tradition in both education and research. The University’s origins trace back to medieval times, with the earliest recognized predecessor established in the late 13th century in Lisbon (although it later moved and evolved). The University is located mainly across the Cidade Universitária campus in Lisbon.

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Lisbon (commonly known by its Portuguese acronym FLUL) is the University’s main center for humanities scholarship and teaching.

In addition, vending machines are available throughout the corridors for snacks and drinks outside regular service hours.

Within less than five minutes on foot, several university canteens operated by SASULisboa are located nearby. The Cantina Velha, about two to three minutes from the main entrance of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, offers full meals and is one of the most comprehensive options for lunch or dinner.
