Studying at the University of Coimbra was one of the best experiences of my academic life. I studied Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, and I loved both the classroom environment and everything about university life in Coimbra.
What I liked most was the unique academic environment, steeped in tradition but also full of opportunities to grow outside the classroom. There are countless extracurricular activities and projects to participate in—from student groups, tuna groups, AAC chapters, to junior companies. All of this makes the experience much more complete and enriching.
What I liked least was that some classes and professors were a bit monotonous, and some of the material was outdated, with handouts containing virtually the same information from years ago. However, this doesn’t detract from the overall value of the education or the university experience.
I would definitely recommend the University of Coimbra. The academic and personal experience you offer is truly special—I wouldn’t have made any other choice.
