Universidade do Porto

My name is Francisca Lopes Pereira Amaral Vieira, I’m 22 years old and I’m currently studying Dentistry in Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da Universidade do Porto, in Oporto, Portugal. 
I consider myself a communicative and sociable person. I'm organized, responsible, hardworking, committed and have leadership skills. 
I have always planned to spend some time abroad during my studies.
With the Erasmus experience I improve my written and spoken English language skills, meet new people, get to know a new culture and, hopefully, open new horizons in my personal and professional life. Meanwhile I become more aware about cultural differences among different peoples and I develop tolerance and respect towards those peoples ‘differences, by working in international teams and contacting with worldwide students. Having the chance to merge in a diverse working atmosphere I can get in touch with diverse working methods and learn with them while letting the others know about procedures in my country and university. Sharing ideas and practices will be an asset I would like to acquire. 
At the same I am glad to let the community know about my own culture through different means. 
Many employers appreciate the fact of studying in another country, and that could become a key element in my resume. 
The experience I could gain during a semester with your internship would definitely be a valuable tool for the future, not only in terms of my academic formation but also for my personal growth. 
For all this, I would like to do an internship in dentistry field at your university or clinic. I am sure that I will learn a lot and will have a unique opportunity in my life.
