Universidade do Minho
speciality: Marketing

This university is amazing in terms of teaching and infrastructers because it offers everything that students need. It was the best moment of my life because i started to feel like an adult and a professional. The teachers helped ne to reach the maximum of my skills and potential.

Universidade do Minho is renowned for its academic prowess and diverse cultural offerings, providing students with an enriching educational experience. Boasting state-of-the-art facilities and esteemed faculty members, it creates a vibrant learning environment situated in the bustling city of Braga, making it an ideal destination for higher education. Thus far, my program has proven to be comprehensive and beneficial for my career trajectory. Additionally, the well-organized programs offer students various avenues to customize their education according to their individual interests and aspirations.

Classes’ content is well structured and with good teachers. Facilities and the university, in general, are bad. The ones in charge are a problem too since there’s a lack of resources and help. Would recommend the university but advise caution.

In my opinion, I believe that the Marketing course program manages to give an overview of management, communication and other subjects that I consider important for general knowledge of business and the market. If I could improve, it would be to increase the practical and internship component, have two more modules on digital marketing, and something deeper on copywriting and multimedia.
In general, the university has all the conditions for study, logistics, and resources to train any student in any area.

Since my area is Marketing, I liked my apprenticeship program, as it involved several areas, from entrepreneurship, relational marketing, direct marketing, sales force management, among other interesting areas such as accounting and finance.
In addition to this, the School of Economics and Management at the University of Minho had several free workshops for its students, from skills development in design programs to Excel, among others.

I’m studying Marketing, it’s a relatively new course at our university. I feel that there is a lack of more direct contact with the job market and with companies. The practical part is also missing, the course is too theoretical. When we got to the job market, we weren’t able to meet the employer’s demands.

About the programme itself: we should learn more practical stuff, more things about digital marketing. Lack of professors with experience in the industry. The internship should be mandatory.

What I liked most: students and student life, a thing we call “praxe”, a way to integrate people.

One of the best universities in the world! However, there are some points that need improvement, namely, some professors who have no work experience in their teaching areas which sometimes gives students a wrong view of what the market is expecting from us, as professionals

The programme was still in the beginning, but the best was without doubt the people I met.
I know that programme is better now, it is still very connected with management. The contact with companies is very low.

I loved studying at the University of Minho!
the school offers excellent teaching and excellent conditions. the teachers are amazing! 3 very happy years.
I recommend! I hope to go back to the master.
