I do not recommend it to students looking to pursue a practical short-term professional life in the fields of economics, management and marketing. The programs are developed solely and exclusively on a theoretical basis, which is clearly fundamental, however, there are no tools available in the courses that prepare us in any way for the job market. To find these tools, it is necessary to look for associations and extracurricular activities, which in fact exist, but are developed by the students themselves, often without any kind of support from the school of economics and management.
There is a huge focus on the part of the School of Economics and Management in the development of scientific articles, where most of them are not very relevant in the area, being even published in disreputable newspapers, ending up by the direction and, as a consequence, teachers forget about their students and its development. All this to be able to please your own navel and ego, forming one or several generations with similar defects.

I really liked the course I attended at this university, the fact that there is no practical part of the course is a disadvantage, as it would be advantageous for the student to apply theoretical knowledge. Overall a pretty complete university.

University of Minho is a Portuguese university founded in 1973. In 2012 the newspaper The Times ranked the university in the top 400 best universities in the world. Moreover, in 2017 it was considered one of the top 500 best universities to study in the world, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities. It stands out due to its excellence in a variety of fields, such as business, science, engineering and medicine, even though it´s a recent university. Additionally, the bachelors in management and economics and the master in finance, from the School of Business and Economics are all credited internationally by the European Foundation for Management Development (EPAS).
Furthermore, it also has a research institute related to bio-sustainability.
Asides its undeniable academical merit, it also stands out for its warm and inviting academical environment, providing a pleasant integration of new students.
