Welcome to the Higher School of Health Technology of Lisbon
The Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de Lisboa (Higher School of Health Technology of Lisbon) - ESTeSL is a public school, integrated in the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (IPL). Located at Parque das Nações, ESTeSL offers twelve Degree Courses, adapted to the Bologna Process, in the area of Health Technologies.
With a unique history and culture, ESTeSL has an innovating school concept that connects internship activities, research projects and community services in the health domain.
ESTeSL is a higher education institute that has been recognized in the area of Health Technologies consequential to the high quality work performed by the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Professionals that it prepares for the labour market.
The School believes that a strong connection with the community is of the utmost importance. To that purpose, the school has developed several scientific and cultural activities and established protocols with national and international institutions in the education, health and research areas, in order to develop internship activities and research projects.
The Bologna Process gave higher education a new paradigm, where continuous training is an imperative.

Romantic (in Coimbra, Braga, Évora, Porto)
Gothic (in Alcobaça, Batalha)
Renaissance (in Coimbra, Estremoz, Lisbon, Évora)
Baroque (in Lisbon and especially Porto).
Manueline art is an artistic legacy from the age of the Portuguese Discoveries of the 16th century. Points of interest include the Imperfect Chapels (Batalha Monastery), the Window of the Convent of Christ in Tomar, the Convent of Jesus in Setúbal, the Church of the People in Caldas da Rainha, and the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon.
Portuguese art has its own specific characteristics that are worth discovering, such as Manueline and Azulejo ceramic tile art.
