Welcome to ISAL! Due to our geographical location we consider our participation of vital importance to engage with students and academic community in India and South Asia to build educational bridges.
ISAL is a non-integrated private Polytechnic establishment of higher education studies. Its genesis dates back to 1971, a period when other institutes of Teaching and Professional Studies were created in Lisbon and which developed synergies that were determinant for the organization and functioning of ISAL in Madeira. We value our performance as a positive one, as it has allowed us to fulfill some national and regional gaps.
