What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0009455) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 79 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.9★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Portugal yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

Catarina Mendes

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Everything works based on favoritism and self-interest, completely illegal in certain aspects. Zero professionalism. Some professors, notably Sara Sucena from architecture and urban planning, contribute to the corruption of university education.

Josefina Sousa

Incompetent, they don't meet the students' needs, they don't clarify doubts, and the administration doesn't provide the slightest support or help solve problems. Don't come to this college, it's a complete rip-off!

A university for foreigners. Some classes aren't even taught in Portuguese. It's nothing more than a diploma mill for foreigners, and that's how they govern themselves. Shameful.

I was away for 25 years and am now returning to Porto!

Extremely disappointed with the lack of transparency and support for students. A potential that is being wasted due to the university's poor performance in several areas.

The university is poorly organized, providing students with incorrect and late answers. The curriculum is poorly designed, and students suffer as a result.
