Studying at the Universidade de Coimbra was a truly unique experience. I loved the historic atmosphere and the Physics Department professors’ dedication to their students. The campus is good, you may find some things outdated, but in general it is a really good vibe. Some administrative procedures may be quite slow, and communication could sometimes be difficult for students. Overall, I would recommend UC to anyone looking for an authentic academic and cultural experience in one of Europe’s oldest universities.
