Lisbon, University of Lisbon

General information

City	City: Lisbon
Country	Portugal
About the University	A law of June 1913 authorized the Portuguese Government to create the Faculty of Social Studies and Law. In 1918, this Faculty was renamed Faculty of Law. Its 1st Director was Afonso Costa. Initially located in an old palace, it was transferred to the actual building of the University Campus in 1957-1958. In 2000, renovation and enlargement works have been concluded, allowing the Faculty to include a modern library, several research offices, three new amphitheatres, one auditorium and one room for simulation of court audiences. With only a few dozen students at the beginning, the Faculty of Law enrolled large hundreds during the 1940s and 1950s; during the 1970s and 1980s, the number of law students would surpass 4 thousand. Besides the graduation course (1st cycle), other programmes are offered, such as post-graduate, masters (2nd cycle) and doctoral programmes (3rd cycle).
