University of Coimbra - UC Speciality : Psychology
programme: Psychology with Forensic Psychology

I’m studying Psychology and Educational Sciences, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in one of the courses it offers. I didn’t have contact with many professors outside of psychology (my major), but even those I did have were very kind to me, and it was clear they only wanted to help and be there for a student. The psychology professors, the vast majority, are, in my opinion, absolutely magnificent. Always available to answer questions, stay with students after class, schedule time to talk, anything. The classes are all good, and I think it’s a program that teaches what’s necessary, although there’s clearly a stronger focus on thesis-based learning in the undergraduate program (I, for example, who pursued a master’s degree in forensic psychology, only had contact with one optional course, with limited enrollment, so not all students have that opportunity). My biggest problem was that the cafeterias were all far from building 1 of the faculty, and the option of lunch at the faculty was extremely expensive, especially for a student (I understand why, but it’s still unpleasant).
