University of Lisbon - ULisboa Speciality : Physics & Astronomy
programme: Physics

I would recommend for the scientific aspect of it, the literal one, they teach very well. People are not always welcoming, I was one of the few girls in the Physics bachelor, and I wasn’t welcomed, specially if you only enter in the ‘2nd phase’

I really appreciate the sense of community at the University of Lisbon. Everyone is proud to be a Lisbon student, and the school does an excellent job of promoting school spirit. The professors and alumni are very supportive when it comes to campus life, career advice, and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment. The one improvement I’d like to see is in the teaching approach. While Uni Lisbon is one of the best schools in Portugal, I think some professors could be more helpful to students, either by offering more office hours or adjusting their teaching styles. Other than that, the university is fantastic!

I just finished my first semester, and it went really well with a 4.0 overall GPA. I also participated in a varsity soccer league, and our team won, becoming intramural champions, which was an amazing experience. I also attended various career fairs and club nights at the international house. I had a blast during my first semester, and now I am excited to move on to the next one.

University of Lisbon has a really swift and precise academic calendar. We don’t often take as long as other schools do to complete an academic year or session. Students here graduate much more sooner and faster.
