Local students at the University of Coimbra
The University of Coimbra (UC) has opened applications to local and Chinese students looking to further their studies at one of Europe’s oldest universities.
High school students from Macau and China are able to apply directly to the University of Coimbra’s various academic programs based on their exam results, including the Gaokao, Liankao and A-levels.
The university said in a statement that all students who obtain “good results” in one of these exams may apply. Applications are open until July 13.
Students are required to take a one-year intensive Portuguese language course in order to enroll in one of UC’s bachelor, masters or PhD programs.
Professor Joaquim Ramos de Carvalho, vice-rector for international relations, said in a statement that the relationship between Coimbra and Macau has been reinforced over the past years. “We have quite a significant Macau student community [here] (…) Coimbra offers a distinguished academic experience, leading to excellence and [providing] a diverse academic training, an international environment with students from over 100 different countries, in a city with high living standards located in Europe.”
The UC has been accepting student applications based on results from Liankao and A-Level since 2014. Applications for masters and PhDs are also open.
The university marks its 725th anniversary this year and was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2013.
