ISCAP is highly keen on the process of internationalisation and willing to increase the number of exchange programmes and develop intercultural experiences among its communities, being responsible for the highest rate of students’ mobility in Portugal.
Business sciences are at the core of ISCAP’s academic life and purpose. Due to the country’s general business scope (where nearly 100% of its business fabric is made up of SMEs), the connection between Higher Education and the national business fabric is crucial. As part of its nature, ISCAP’s teaching staff is deeply connected to the business world.
A vast majority of its lecturers have had (and some still do have) a close connection to enterprises and to the business world in general, making sure that their practical views on the subject and knowledge pass on to those they teach to become tomorrow’s accountants, managers, businesspersons, and entrepreneurs.
