Student review [#88957] for Law
at Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Porto

If you are looking for an university with outstanding quality, then this is your safe bet!
The facilities and outdoor spaces are great (honestly pretty spectacular during the summer months), the staff is very nice and always ready to help and the professors are true experts on the subjects they are teaching. The classes are very interesting, although a bit demanding (which is positive, I believe), are taught with a pratical approach and very engaging. If you want support to understand some topics or even discuss different points of view, the professors are always available and happy to help. Be mindful of your choices regarding dissertation advisors, though, since at this stage the level of support varies a lot from one professor to another.
Campus life is good in general but I have felt that most people do not engage with other colleagues rather than their friends, so it can be challenging when your friends aren’t around.
The library has a spectacular view and you can find almost every book you might be looking for.
Regarding employment after graduation, Catholic University is well-known for its quality but I was expecting better opportunities after I’ve graduated. Even though I had a good average I found the process quite hard. I believe that if you do not build a really strong network, or have one before joining the uni, it can be hard. On the other hand, you can reach out to the careers and employment office and obtain some valuable help.
I enjoyed my years at Catholic University and really miss those times nowadays!
