Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Porto Speciality : Psychology
programme: Psychology

Catholic University of Portugal (Porto) is an excellent university. Actually, it is the best university in Portugal! As a student, I feel challenged by the programme, the teachers, the classes, and my colleagues. To my mind, the programme was designed in a very smart way, as it includes a lot of practical classes, which, I feel, validate my knowledge of psychology and research (both of which I love). That gives me the confidence I need to continue to move forward in my path. It is important to refer that I was able to join the Human Neurobehavioral Laboratory (HNL) of the university from day one and that is a privilege. Also, I love that we, members of the HNL, were given the opportunity to organize an online international congress on psychology (CIEL-Psi), during the covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, I believe I’m learning everything I need to become the professional I want to be, as I am surrounded by hardworking, empathetic, highly motivated, and devoted teachers and colleagues. I would love, though, to have more in-person classes, because, despite the teacher’s huge creativity, the online classes don’t do justice to the quality of the classes we have on campus. All in all, I would highly recommend the Catholic University of Portugal (Porto).
