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.

“Engeneering Student at University of Porto”
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.
