Scholarships to study management and artificial intelligence in Portugal
Candidates can choose between executive training aimed at different professional profiles.
Among the options disclosed are courses related to leadership in projects, strategic business management, and applications of artificial intelligence in the corporate environment.
The purpose of the programs is to serve professionals seeking to expand their repertoire in management, develop leadership skills, and have contact with international practices of executive education.
The classes take place in Lisbon, headquarters of ISCTE Executive Education, a Portuguese institution that operates in the training of executives and managers.
In the case of the project area, the training is directed at professionals who need to lead teams, plan deliveries, deal with innovation, and make decisions based on scenario analysis.
Artificial intelligence appears as a support tool for management and project execution.
The Strategic Business Management program focuses on professionals who work or intend to work in positions related to administration, strategy, leadership, and organizational development.
The training covers topics such as planning, negotiation, communication, change, and business performance.
ISCTE Executive Education appears in international rankings
ISCTE Executive Education is part of the structure of Iscte, a university institution located in Lisbon, and has a consolidated presence in executive education in Portugal.
The school adopts the concept of Real-Life Learning, emphasizing the practical application of content in situations close to the routine of companies and organizations.
The institution also appears in international executive education rankings published by the Financial Times.
In 2026, ISCTE Executive Education announced it had achieved its best historical result in the British newspaper’s ranking, with highlights in customized programs for companies and open programs for professionals.
This international recognition reinforces the school’s positioning in the executive training market, especially in courses focused on leadership, management, and the development of applied skills.
For Brazilians, the possibility of studying in Portuguese reduces a common barrier in academic experiences abroad.
Course in Lisbon includes accommodation, meals, and certificate
The experience was structured as a short-term immersion, with academic activities, international interaction, and contact with the Portuguese business environment.
The workload announced for programs in the partnership between LAIOB and ISCTE Executive Education is 64 hours, spread over two weeks.
During the period in Lisbon, participants have classes in the chosen course, breakfast throughout the program, lunch on class days, double accommodation, and activities involving contact with companies or executives in the region.
The weekend is free for tours and personal activities.
The experience also includes a graduation dinner and the awarding of an international certificate at the end of the program.
This format aims to combine academic training, networking, and cultural experience, without turning the course into a traditional undergraduate or postgraduate degree.
The included accommodation is usually in a hotel indicated by the organization or in accommodation linked to the program experience.
The modality is double, meaning the participant can share the room with another member of the group, according to the operational rules of the selection.
Program cost and expenses outside the scholarship
The full investment disclosed for the courses is 7,980 euros.
On this amount, selected candidates receive partial scholarships according to the modalities available in the selection process, which reduces the final payment made by the approved participant.
In the most recent official announcement located, the scholarships appear in the ranges of 30%, 50%, and 90%, with a limited number of spots in each modality.
The information differs from the original call, which mentions scholarships of up to 100%, so the difference was recorded at the end of this article.
Even with a scholarship, some expenses remain the participant’s responsibility.
Among them are airfare, health insurance, passport, possible entry documentation to Portugal, personal expenses, and an enrollment fee of 120 euros.
The conversion to reais may vary according to the euro exchange rate, bank fees, and payment method.
For this reason, the approximate amount of R$ 46,000 should be read as a reference, not as a fixed price in Brazilian currency.
LAIOB selection evaluates professional trajectory and profile
The LAIOB selection process usually evaluates professional trajectory, academic background, motivational responses, and the candidate’s adherence to the chosen program.
If advancing to the next stage, the participant may be called for an interview by phone or digital means.
The selection also allows the candidate to indicate the course of greatest interest, according to their career moment and development goals.
Registration does not automatically guarantee a scholarship, as the grant depends on evaluation and availability of spots in each percentage.
The programs are aimed at professionals who wish to accelerate their careers, expand international networking, and learn management practices in another country.
Even so, the training has an executive and short-term character, without automatic equivalence to a Brazilian academic diploma.
How to apply for scholarships to study in Portugal
Interested parties should access the official LAIOB page dedicated to the ISCTE Executive Education selection process, choose the course of interest, and fill out the form with personal, professional, and academic data.
On the page consulted, the most recent cycle registrations appeared as closed, with an option to register on a waiting list for upcoming classes.
