Manuel Coutinho is a native of Aveiro and is 20 years old. Almost two years after the start of the Integrated Master’s degree in Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the U.Porto Engineering Faculty (FEUP), and overcoming the existential doubts typical of academic meninez (“what am I doing here? Can I do it?”), Manuel already faces his progress at the university with a more adult vision. “Colleagues become friends, teachers to acquaintances,” not least because, he adds, “the spirit of help and sharing was greater than he had ever experienced,” and the pace of work became easier to tame. There is, therefore, no reason to regret the choice you made at the end of high school. More information, click here.
