In the city, there are three [[public universities]] and a [[university institute]]. The [[University of Lisbon]], which is the largest university in Portugal, was created in 2013 with the union of the [[Technical University of Lisbon]] and the Classical University of Lisbon (which was known as the University of Lisbon). The [[New University of Lisbon]], founded in 1973, is another public university in Lisbon and is known internationally by its [[Nova School of Business and Economics]] (Nova SBE), its economics and management faculty. The third public university is [[Universidade Aberta]]. Additionally, there's [[ISCTE - Lisbon University Institute]] (founded in 1972), a university institute that provides degrees in all academic disciplines.

Major private institutions of higher education include the [[Portuguese Catholic University]], focused on law and management, as well as the Lusíada University, the [[Universidade Lusófona]], and the [[Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa]], among others.
