In 2025, the University of Lisbon was once again ranked among the 300 best universities in the world, a position it has held since 2021.

The ranking evaluates more than 2,500 higher education institutions worldwide and lists the 1,000 best, based on criteria such as research quality, Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals awarded to former students or professors, articles published in leading scientific journals (Nature and Sciences), citations from publications indexed in the Science Citation Index-Expanded and in the Social Science Citation Index, and the University's per capita academic performance.

“There are many times when I end up postponing going home to stay with colleagues who may eventually become lifelong friends and share the same areas of study. I have always felt a lot of openness and support from the professors, and I am even participating in research projects because of this way of being at our Faculty.”
