University Review

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.

Management Course Iseg

What brought me to this university was firstly its national ranking and word of mouth of family members. I have attended it for 2 years now and it has been a great experience. The professors are helpful and the curriculum is very interesting although I find our mathematics level too advanced for business degree. The infrastructure is great and in an excellent location. There are many clubs to join and opportunities for the students to take advantage of. In site parking only available to masters students and higher and street parking is extremely rare and quite expensive close to the university.

Lusófona University

We pay a lot and we don´t have the best conditions. We have good teachers but there are a lot of teachers that are not that good at teaching and don´t give the best grades. The computers are old and it´s difficult to work with them.

Great modern university approach

I am currently a 3rd year student at Forward College and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to other students. The interactive approach of Forward where questions, debate, and discussion were encouraged enhanced my learning so much and I feel like I genuinely enjoyed every class. Having the experience of living in 3 different cultures, surrounded by people from all over the world made this experience even more special and helped me develop and grow in so many ways. Another aspect I have loved are the professors. Speaking with friends at other university I am so grateful to have teachers that actually know us, are excited to teach and interact with us, and will always take the time to help you.
