Through various mobility programmes, the FA provides its students with the possibility of studying abroad for one or two semesters. These studies can be carried out in Europe within the Erasmus programme or in other destinations, such as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia or Canada, for example, through protocols established directly with various international universities.

The Lisbon School of Architecture, by means for the University’s central services, is part of a protocol with Santander Totta Bank, which grants scholarships to support mobility in Latin America, specifically through the Santander programmes of Portuguese-Brazilian Scholarships and Iberian-American Scholarships. In addition, the FA is a part of the Europe-Japan exchange network, through the programme AUSMIP.

The FA provides its students with a wide set of spaces to support academic life in its diverse stages, including: the library, the reprography, the ‘espaço 24 horas’ (24-hour space, where students can develop their work), the editorial centre, the multimedia office, the photography and videography studio, the cartography and media library, the computing centre (CIFA), the fashion design sewing atelier, the workshops, the rapid prototyping lab (LPR), the colour lab (LABCOR), the photography and synthesis image lab (LAFIS), the 3D scanning lab, the intellectual property and knowledge transfer office, and the School’s incubator.

There are several academic initiatives carried out in the scope of the Design study. Among them we highlight the fieldtrips to companies, museums, exhibitions; congresses and workshops that had the participation of well-known professionals and professors, both national and international; the student work exhibitions, its respective dissemination in different forums, and the mobility of students to European schools under the Erasmus programme, and to Brazilian and South-American schools under established protocols among the institutions.
