Universidade do Minho
speciality: Sociology

Unfortunately, my experience with this programme was largely negative. The content often felt outdated, poorly structured, and lacking real academic or practical value. Many classes did not meet the expected standards of higher education, and there was little effort to engage students or encourage meaningful learning.

A major issue was the teaching quality. Several professors appeared unprepared, unmotivated, or dismissive towards students. Feedback was often unclear or unhelpful, and communication was inconsistent. Overall, the programme felt like a waste of time rather than a valuable educational experience.

UMINHO is really like a big community of students with no real separation between subjects or disciplines. It’s great! The teachers and staff are super helpfull and the online platforms really useful.

Through the course, I managed to get a real perception of the whole society through the acceptance of different points of view. I recommend the course as it contributes to personal growth and a better life in society.

The University of Minho made me grow personally and professionally. What stands out the most in this institution is the professionalism of all members and the ability to adapt to each student.
