Student review [#47776] for Aeronautical Engineering
at University of Beira Interior - UBI

I think the university still relies on the historical side that the course has because it is the oldest Aeronautical Engineering course in Portugal. Besides that, it has too much theory, and this is not very related to the professors but the fact that the department doesn’t have the money to invest in facilities that would allow its students to conduct practical studies.
Covilhã as a student city is great, a small town with cheap housing and supermarkets. The academic life is great because it has a lot of bars and disco that allows any student to find joy in anything. in terms of Natural beauty the city is on the slope of the tallest mountain in Portugal giving very nice views and nature-related activities.
As I have said, the course could be better and if you are looking for the best course in Portugal this isn’t the city for you but if you are looking for a chill, nice and cosy town come to Covilhã and the city will receive you with its arms wide open.:)
