UCP campus
The campus of UCP is located in Lisbon. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at UCP. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
After graduation from the university, students can stay in the country for 1 year. To do this, you need to extend your student visa or apply for a job seeker visa. Graduates of UCP 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.
