Education

In this area of the University’s site you will find information on all of the advantages of studying at this institution, not only while you attend your course, but also throughout your life (visit the links below).

The University of Coimbra offers to its students, in excess of 20,000, a wide and comprehensive group of graduate and postgraduate courses, master's degrees, and doctorate programmes, as well as specific life-long training programmes, with a teaching staff of about 1,200, whose high quality is widely recognised. Eight faculties and an Institute for Interdisciplinary Research constitute the organic units of the University and the head offices for the generation of Knowledge.

Investing in the differentiation by quality, the University also assures a kind of teaching adapted to the demands of the labour market, where scientific research plays a central role.

Being a student at the University of Coimbra also represents being able to benefit from other relative advantages, such as a close follow-up during and after academic life, the expanding of horizons provided by the contact with a cosmopolitan atmosphere as well as by the possibilities of international mobility, cultural offer, and leisure and sport activities, which considerably enrich your academic experience and a markedly associative way of life.
