I have initially studied in another country for my bachelors but I moved abroad in September for my Master’s degree.
The University of Coimbra is located in a small but bustling city, full of students, where the academic celebrations never stop.

Compared to my country, I really love the unity you can find among the University staff and the students. Everyone feels like a big family wiling to help each other and no one is ever left out.
I like the way classes are taught because the teachers have a relaxed approach where they encourage you to speak up and be active not out of fear of a bad grade in case you do not do it, but because the atmosphere they create is comfortable enough for you to be yourself and participate.
There are also a multitude of opportunities for extra curricular activities offered by either the University itself or the numerous student organizations.
