The University of Lisbon ( Portuguese Universidade de Lisboa [ univɨɾsi'dad (ɨ) dɨ liʒ'boɐ ]) in Lisbon is the largest university in Portugal with 47,944 students in eight faculties . The university campus is called "Cidade Universitária de Lisboa".
history
The origins of the University of Lisbon date back to 1288, when King Dionysius (Dinis) established a general study in Lisbon and Coimbra . In 1290 the university was confirmed by the Pope. In the following two and a half centuries, the course changed between the two cities until King John III. (João III) made Coimbra the only university city in Portugal in 1537. All the institutions, the faculty and all the books in the university library moved to Coimbra.
It was not until almost 400 years later that the first republican government of Portugal founded the University of Lisbon by decree on March 9, 1911. In the university constitution, on April 19, 1911, the Lisbon Medical and Surgical College, the Pharmaceutical College, the Polytechnic and the Advanced Literary Studies courses were transformed into faculties of the new university. The decree already provided for a new faculty for economics and politics which would be founded on June 30, 1913. Until 1918 it was called the Faculty of Social Studies and Law, from then on it was called the Faculty of Law. Its first rector was Afonso Costa .
After Egas Moniz received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1949, the new Santa Maria University Hospital designed by the German architect Hermann Distel was inaugurated in 1953 and has since been home to the Medical Faculty.
By law of December 31, 2012, the university was merged with the Technical University of Lisbon (Universidade Técnica de Lisboa) to form the new University of Lisbon.
structure
The university is divided into eight faculties .

The Faculdade de Direito (FDUL) was initially housed in the Palácio Valmor , and only moved into the current building on the campus in 1958. The faculty is divided into 10 institutes.
