My overall opinion about UBI is pretty good. Although it is a relatively small university with around 9000 students, it has a lot to offer and a wide variety of degrees available. At UBI, you can encouter the right environment to study and succeed in life. There is a wide variety of projets you can join as well and make your studies less stressful and more interesting.

The university does not have many students compared to other universities, which allows students to get to know the professors better and vice versa. But some course subjects are outdated, such as programming in C.

I think that most professors could make a little more effort to provide students with more materials, such as worksheets, since they always teach the same subject every year, the work can be reused over the years, and also to provide more solutions of worksheets to the students so that we can better understand the matter through the resolution.

In the few months that I’ve been at UBI, I’ve realized that it’s an excellent university, with excellent conditions and with professors who are very accessible and willing to help us as much as possible, not only the professors but also our colleagues who help us in different ways. ways, focusing now on the environment around Covilhã is an excellent place to be despite the cold, here we have a type of contact between people very different from other universities, strong and lasting friendships are established here, and so does anyone who passes through here there will be some funny stories to tell in the future and a great desire to return here.

Im my opinion, and anyone that has brains, the university simply puts asside everyday necessities of the students and their learning opportunities are fewer every year. With teacher that do not know how to teach to some geniuses that simply think it’s too easy to explain, we pay 680€ a year and are rewarded with complete disinterest from the university. Being on the aerospace department, it’s a shame FCS (Faculdade das Ciências da Saúde), that belongs to UBI as well, gets investments of half a million euros on some classroom, and we barely make it into a internship on our own.

It is a young university in constant growth. The spirit of unity is something that is felt throughout the entire university. It is a good university in terms of teaching quality, something I recommend. Another strong point is the fact that you can study in Covilhã as it is a calm, serene city, with a spectacular academic spirit, where friendships are made for life.

Very little investment in the engineering university and the waiting time in the canteen is very long, I was already waiting for an hour to get lunch and then I was late for class. vpn doesn’t work either

This masters degree in aeronautical engenering is poorly managed by the professors, there are a few decent professor, but the vast majority is there for a undeserved paycheck, not for the future of aeronautics and their students

Good underrated University, with some problems in terms of professors, but with interesting courses and with much space to improvment.
Some facilities of the University could be better and some investment is needed.
Overral, it is a Young University with a very good review but haver some things that neee improvment

UBI is a university with a lot of history. It´s located in Covilhã, near Serra da Estrela, which is where the highest altitudes in mainland Portugal are located. Covilhã it’s a beautiful city in the center of Portugal and it’s relatively small which is good because you can go everywhere on foot. On the other hand, as Covilhã is near the mountains, its streets are pretty steep. You’re going to be constantly climbing or descending every street, so cardio won’t be what you’re going to need to do in your free time, that’s for sure.
I’m studying aeronautical engineering and overall I’m liking it, we have a hangar and some laboratories, and also have subjects related to propulsion, structures, systems, aerodynamics and so on.
The people are very friendly and that is what I like the most.
If you want a good balance between studying and social life this university is good for you!
