Catholic University of Portugal - UCP (reviews)

Católica Lisbon School is the best University, according to the Financial Times ranking, in Portugal. The professors are really available and love their jobs. The University could be a little be more technological and new.

Catholic University of Portugal (Porto) is an excellent university. Actually, it is the best university in Portugal! As a student, I feel challenged by the programme, the teachers, the classes, and my colleagues. To my mind, the programme was designed in a very smart way, as it includes a lot of practical classes, which, I feel, validate my knowledge of psychology and research (both of which I love). That gives me the confidence I need to continue to move forward in my path. It is important to refer that I was able to join the Human Neurobehavioral Laboratory (HNL) of the university from day one and that is a privilege. Also, I love that we, members of the HNL, were given the opportunity to organize an online international congress on psychology (CIEL-Psi), during the covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, I believe I’m learning everything I need to become the professional I want to be, as I am surrounded by hardworking, empathetic, highly motivated, and devoted teachers and colleagues. I would love, though, to have more in-person classes, because, despite the teacher’s huge creativity, the online classes don’t do justice to the quality of the classes we have on campus. All in all, I would highly recommend the Catholic University of Portugal (Porto).

I really enjoy how my course is really practical and how the lessons are taught to motivate us. The professors try to give us an insight into how things really work in the “real world” preparing us for it at the same time.

I liked my programme because it offered me a global view of International Relations and a better understanding of Political Science. I also liked studying the Classics like Plato and Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hobbes, Locke, St. Augustine, and more recent philosophers like Burke.

I would say that I’ve spent the best 5 years of my life in UCP Porto.
It’s an academic but also enthusiastic, relaxed and funny environment where you’re able to develop yourself further than your expectations.
UCP, more than a renowned university, it’s a brand that you’ll carry with you to help you achieve your future aspirations.
Believe me, it’s a safe bet!

The university is very good in all terms. Always looking to help students and gives a great life opportunity. Facilities are outrageous with rooms fully equipped and some of them are open 24 hours a day.

Catholic Lisbon School of Business and Economics is one of the best universities in Portugal in Business area. I’m currently doing my master program in Catholic and it’s had been a very challenging experience. The environment is great especially if you are looking for a multi-culture experience. The professors have practical experience in the area that they are teaching and the university invests a lot in Research area which is great if you were looking for a prestige university to do your master program. More than 40% of the master’ students in Catholic are not Portuguese because the University gives a lot of support to foreign students. The Master programs in CLSBE are all in English and although you have some specific and obligatory courses related to your specialization you can also do a lot of elective courses and you have more than 30 available in different areas of study which can add extra value to your master (Languages, Finance, Marketing, Strategy and Entrepreneurship are some of this areas).
