I completed a Master in Civil Engineering. At first glance, the Faculty of Engineering is imposing and attractive. The inside of the book didn’t disappoint, matching the quality of the cover. The body of teachers often includes some of the best professionals in their respective fields. They are approachable. Courses and exams are demanding.
On the other hand, I feel that the syllabus needs a reorganization to include more programming and a more practical approach.
Outside of school, students can enjoy multiple social and cultural activities, usually brought by the Students’ Associations of the different faculties.
Overall, the experience was very positive. University of Porto is well respected in Portugal and abroad, which has given me a favorable professional outlook.
