UMinho campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Aveiro. 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. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. UMinho regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
After graduation, you can stay in Portugal for 1 year. This time is enough to find a job and change your student visa to a work one. Look for more immigration options in our article.
