I went to FEUP in Bioengineering with the objective of having a rigorous and multidisciplinary training, which would allow me to develop the ability to quickly adapt to new environments.
I am interested in the application of Engineering in the solution of health problems, and the passage through curricular units belonging to different departments of FEUP allowed me to understand what I would like to follow in the future.
I contacted the best professionals with different backgrounds, teachers at FEUP, who shared some of their professional experience. In addition to a huge number of opportunities for direct collaboration with teachers, FEUP has a close geographical and academic proximity to renowned research institutes – such as INESC TEC, INEGI, LABIOMEP, among many others.
Focusing a little on my experience in associations, I belonged to the Center of Bioengineering Students (NEB-FEUP/ICBAS) for three years, of which I was President in my last year of the course. By leading a motivated team, I realized that even with the work of few students, it is possible to make a positive impact on FEUP students and leave our mark.
As far as the environment is) they could not choose a more welcoming college! From the coffee breaks in the garden, to the huge amount of cultural events, associations and quality infrastructures, here we spend unforgettable moments.
