Instituto Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas, Sociais e da Vida

Selbständige universitäre Einrichtung; kein Universitätsinstitut

ISPA began its activity in 1962 under the designation of Instituto de Ciências PsicoPedagógicas. It came to adopt the name Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada (ISPA) in 1964... This expansion led to the formal conversion into a University Institute in order to encompass its broadened formative offer. At first, it took the name of ISPA – Instituto Universitário de Psicologia Aplicada, later settling on its current designation, ISPA – Instituto Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas, Sociais e da Vida.
