The campus of the educational institution is located in Porto. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. Not only locals study at UP, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.

Students can stay in Portugal for a year after graduation to find a job and change their student visa to a work visa. Graduates of UP are in demand in the labor market, as the reputation of the educational institution among employers is quite high according to the results of the QS world ranking.
