There are several higher education institutions awarding academic degrees in economics and business management across the whole country. Almost every polytechnical institute have programmes in management and administration. All state-run universities have programmes in economics. Among the largest and most reputed universities which host an economics department and develop research on economics, are the Technical University of Lisbon (through its Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão – ISEG), ISCTE – Lisbon University Institute, the Portuguese Catholic University at Lisbon (through its Faculdade de Ciências Económicas e Empresariais – FCEE), the University of Porto (through its Faculdade de Economia da Universidade do Porto – FEP); the New University of Lisbon (through its Nova School of Business and Economics – NOVASBE); the Minho University (through its Escola de Economia e Gestão – EEG); and the University of Coimbra (through its Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra – FEUC).
The Financial Times European Business school ranking has consistently placed the Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics and the Nova School of Business and Economics among the top European business and economics schools. Both the Bank of Portugal and Statistics Portugal develop lengthy and thoroughly systematic research and make reports on the Portuguese economy.
