PORTUGALA country where you feel at home.

The first steps...

They may seen complicated but we are sure you will find them much easier now that you have all the information below.

When we think about Portugal, we think about a country with a rich history, culture, architecture and arts. In addition, Portugal is known for its friendly population and outstanding gastronomy.

From North to South you will find special places where you will feel at home.

Portuguese is the official language but we are quite open to speak other languages, and communication is not going to be an issue.

Portugal is located in Western Europe and borders Spain. However, we have safe and fast connections to other European cities (Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona or London) that are only a few hours away, if you will wish to visit them during your stay.

UNIVERSIDADE EUROPEIAUniversidade Europeia is located in a former XVIII century palace.

The complete renovation of the space has both maintained the charm of the building and provided the necessary facilities to ensure a high quality education.

Universidade Europeia offers three-year Bologna compliant undergraduate and post-graduate degrees our two campus: Quinta do Bom Nome - Areas of study in Marketing, Hospitality, Tourism, Psychology and Business related courses.

This is home place of the “Fado” - Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - UNESCO.
