The University of Coimbra values welcoming and integration of its new students, recognizing that this is a decisive moment in each student's academic and personal journey. To support this, the University of Coimbra has developed various initiatives that aims to provide a welcoming, informative, and motivating environment since the very first contact.
With the growing number of International Students, the University of Coimbra organizes specific welcome sessions for students in undergraduate and integrated master programmes. These sessions provide an institutional presentation, practical information about life in Coimbra, clarification of academic procedures, and opportunities for interaction with peers and representatives of UC services. The goal is to ensure a smooth and effective integration, respecting cultural diversity and promoting the exchange of experiences.
