I liked housing at the university because I felt quite ok there. I met a lot of other students from different countries which was a wonderful experience. The facilities and space available could be better though.

Personal spending habits
I overspent money for travel purposes. The airplain tickets between Spain and Portugal were really cheap because of Ryanair and it was a great opportunity to visit both countries. I visited in 6 months more than i visited my hole life and i am pretty happy of the chance that Erasmus gave it to me.

Nuno F
Portugal, Graduate
Engineering, Electronic, 2022
Overall
The school is very helpfull and has a good reputation. Once you complete the course it is easy to find a job and they have a lot of tools that facilitate job search.
The education is good and it covers both the theoretical and pratical parts of engeneering during all 5 years.

Pros
Good understanding on theoretical science and opportunity to develop harder projects incrementally
Cons
They only offer more standard careers paths and so, if you want a different choice you have to look for it yourself.

Course recommendations
Try to check in advance if the course can be held in English, since their web page doesn't provide information about course language for all courses. Professors usually answer to the emails with questions about their courses so fell free to send them one.
