“ When I entered FEUP I thought working in the world’s largest companies was impossible, but I could not be more wrong! Only three years later I was accepted for an internship at Google in London and much of it is thanks to all that I learned in this college. The effort and dedication that we are required to have give us the ability to be great engineers and make any company values who studied here. The diversity of the course plan allows us to learn about many computer science areas, and the commitment of teachers, both in education and in the training curriculum and link to companies, makes so that anyone can pursue the career you want, even in large companies such as Google, Facebook or Microsoft. It is undoubtedly an exceptional course and various proof of excellence worldwide.”

“ It was in 2013 that I joined FEUP, in a perspective to study at a prestigious college with a good recognition by the business community and with an inviting student environment. Today, three years later, I feel more and more prepared for the future work, not only for demanding workload developed, but at the same time the interpersonal tools of teamwork I learned. It is with a feeling of great motivation now that I regard the remaining years to come, eager to develop projects of even greater complexity and initiating contact with the business market.”

“I got into FEUP in 2012, and just like most of the other students, I came from a different town, and I was going to live on my own for the first time. I chose MIEIC because I already had a thing for tech stuff, and it is a field that, despite being very specialized, it is one of which that employs people on the most various professional fields. And no, I didn’t know how to code when I started.
The truth is that I couldn’t be happier with my choice. If I had to choose once again, this time I would have no doubts and I would promptly reply – “I want MIEIC”. The environment at college is very friendly: there are lots of opportunities to meet older students and learn with them; the teachers are very nice and reachable, they are always willing to help; the same goes for the staff of the secreteriat.
During these last 4 years I didn’t only learn how to program. In fact, although programming is the foundation of our careers, I dare to say that MIEIC taught me more, much more. The skills, the values, and every other intangible asset, are truly the most important things they teach us.
Next year I finish my master’s degree, and I can’t stop feeling that I need to take the most of each and every day that I have left. The adventure hasn’t even ended, and there are already moments when I feel nostalgic because the end is near. But that is just like every other stage of life, and turn for other adventures must be given, just as good or even better than these last years, if possible.”

“At the end of these five years of MIEIC I can say that I made the best choice when I finished the secondary, to join Informatics in FEUP. Here at FEUP, Informatics is like a family. In any subject, either during the project or the exams time we help each other. In addition to the course, it is important to involve in extracurricular activities and student associations, and nothing better than FEUP to do it, developing soft-skills and competences necessary for your future.”
