Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

The best student life

For me the university of Coimbra is the best university in my country, Portugal. There there are plenty of traditions and cultural activities you can experience to make your student time the best years of your life. That is a beautiful city with a lot of interesting history and academic life experience. If you chose to study in Coimbra you will have the best personal learnings.
