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.
Sound an Image is one of the 3 programmes from the School of the Arts. It is also, in my experience, the most neglected. This came in the form of less equipment available (priority given to the Cinema course), abysmal workshop conditions (very little space, missing or broken equipment) and not even a designated space where the Year 3 students could storage their Final Project material (I had to constantly fix or rebuild some of my materials). The curriculum itself is very good. Sound an Image is not a full on technical course, and the theoretical classes do help in developing an artistic sensibility and vision - the professors are also, for the most part, engaged and helpful. Lastly, we may have the poorest Student Association in Porto - low budget and little freedom. It's important to note that the programme has changed a lot along the years, recently going through changes on a yearly basis. Allegedly, upcoming students will have better conditions and equipment, as well as more practical projects. Closing remarks: in all honesty, I wouldn't go here without at least a half scholarship. I do not feel the full tuition matches the value of the course. However, Católica is more than a single programme. There's a lot of talks with speakers from different areas, from artists to cientists and other professional backgrounds. There's a psychology service with different workshops. There's a weekly cinema session organized by the Cinema students. There's all these extracurricular things that do bring their value to the school.

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.

The university is very inclusive.Everybody is the same, no matter age, race, gender, sexuality, style etc... This inclusivity also makes the atmosphere in the faculty great! Every break there is someone playing music, singing, drinking and smoking (responsibly) The teachers are also very nice. The classes are always relaxed and we even get a few laughs.
