Global Learning Hub provides international institutions with a flexible campus environment from which to establish and grow educational programs in Lisbon.
From a year-abroad or semester program to a longer-term institutional presence, GLH brings together teaching facilities, accommodation and operational support in one integrated campus environment. Each institution retains ownership of its academic programs, curriculum and brand.
Portugal introduced a new legal framework in 2026 for eligible foreign higher-education institutions delivering activities in Portugal while remaining outside the Portuguese higher-education system.
Decree-Law 83/2026 provides a specific registration framework for qualifying international institutions, creating greater clarity for institutions considering a presence in Portugal.
Global Learning Hub can provide the physical campus environment and local operational support around that presence.
International presence and branch-campus models
A flexible campus environment from which established international institutions can develop a longer-term presence in Lisbon.
Year-abroad and semester programs
Bring an existing degree-linked program or international cohort to Lisbon, with teaching, accommodation and operational support brought together in one place.
Short courses and specialist programs
Deliver executive education, intensive programs, residencies and other specialist learning formats in Lisbon.
A note on customization:
No two programs are the same. Whether you’re bringing 20 students for an intensive two-week course or 150 for a full semester, we work to the shape of your program. Get in touch to discuss what this could look like for your institution.
