Student review [#95290] for Physics Engineering
at University of Coimbra - UC

I write this review as someone in the 3rd year of the Physics Engineering degree, in the Department of Physics of the University of Coimbra.
In general, I’d give the course and the university in general a very positive review. The facilities are almost all of very high quality, and the cafeterias mostly have very good food for afordable prices.
The programme is well thought out, and covers all the topics a physics engineering student needs to know before venturing into the job market.
I have mixed feelings about my professors. Some were very good, explaining some very complex subjects really well and, in general, being awesome people, and others not so much. Any professor who believes they are better than others simply because they’re older and know more tend to be not as nice to learn from.
The city in general, although it has its problems, it’s a great place to be in with lots of activity both during the day and the night.
The major problem is the lack of residential zones close to the university that both have decent conditions and are afordable. The housing crysis is a big problem everyone studying here is facing. Also the transit system could be better, the city being old means it has old infrastructure that doesn’t meet trafic demands.
All this being said, I definitely recommend the UC to anyone who can enroll in it.
