This essay presents the results of an exploratory analysis of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on international students and foreign residents enrolled in a higher education institution in Portugal. The study is based on an online survey to these students, carried out between April 7 and May 7, 2020. The respondents’ perspectives were analysed regarding the effects of this health crisis on the continuity of their studies in Portugal, as in teaching and learning strategies, employment, housing, health and well-being. Although the problems and challenges created by the new coronavirus and the restrictions on human mobility to cope with its spread, have affected the entire student community, its effects were not homogeneous highlighting differences according gender, age, geographic origin and funding sources for their studies in Portugal.

Palabras clave : COVID-19; pandemic; international students; foreign students; Portugal.
