“University of Algarve an Unique Experience!”

Overall
During the academic year, Faro becomes a student city full of life and activities. Relatively small and with two locations, Penha and Gambelas, the University of Algarve offer a variety of courses. At the beginning of May, the summer days start gradually to appear and it's possible to spend your free time at the amazing beaches so-known in this region. Enjoy!
