ESTGV (IP Viseu) – Business Management & Tourism (International Semester)
Viseu, PortugalPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Good fit for marketing and tourism; very little English-taught business management or corporate finance, so those HMU courses mostly need the Portuguese-taught catalogue
English-taught programme: The International Semester is a menu of ~30 English-taught units (4-8 ECTS) that Erasmus students combine into a custom semester, under Marketing, Tourism, Mathematics, Languages, Informatics and Environment. A unit runs in English only if at least 10 students enrol; Portuguese-taught units are available with language support. No English-taught Business Management or Corporate Finance units. Fall/Spring from the page table; ECTS from each unit's fact sheet.
