New at university ? See some tips to be sucessful!!


So i decided to do this publication for those who will enter university this year. It's the beginning of a new life to those who have suffered (or not) to enter. So ill give five tips to be successful at university.
 
Be Proactive: Do not expect teachers to provide things for you, go back, insist, be persistent, show your interest.

Make different: Take courses from other courses, learn different things, be different. Make theater, dance, financial mathematics, history of ur country. Diversify your curriculum vitae and your view of things. Try to differentiate yourself from the majority, all of your course will have the same degree, but natural selection is constantly applied, and Darwin's Law applies to the labor market as well.

Make network, make contacts, exchange business cards, has an interesting network of friends. The networking is a great way to get good opportunities in the future. Some gossips say, "You need not be good enough to have good contacts." Enjoy the moment, cultivate potential professional partners.

Study: this seems to be a useless tip but it is not. Four or five years seems too much, it is not. Don't be just satisfied with the lessons given, everyone learned that now stands out from the herd , learn something new.

Academic life: join the academic center, be a representative of the room, of course,junior company. It makes you learn to deal with issues and circumstances that adds a lot of experience. Attend meetings, organize events, all this contributes much to yours know-how.

Academic Regards,
Bruno Silva

Coimbra University


University History
The history of the University of Coimbra dates back to the century following the very foundation of the Portuguese nation, since the University was established in the thirteenth century, in 1290.
But first, in 1288, was drafted a Petition to Pope Nicholas IV (which only knows the shuttle) dated 17 November 1288 and signed by the abbots of monasteries of Alcobaça, Santa Cruz de Coimbra and S. Vicente de Lisboa and the top 24 churches and convents of the kingdom.
This document called for the establishment of a "General Survey" and those religious institutions assumed the guarantee of funding. It is not known if the Petition came to the Holy .

University of OPorto

Hi again. Someone asked me on a comment to bring information about OPorto university. So i did a research and i found some interesting things about that university. So check that information bellow:


Short Presentation of the University of Porto

With origins dating back to the eighteenth century, the University of Porto is currently the largest education and research institution in Portugal.
Close to 31,000 students, 2,300 teachers and researchers along with 1,700 administrative staff attend its 15 schools and 69 scientific research units, spread across 3 university campuses located in the city of Porto.
With 14 faculties and a business school, the University of Porto provides an exceptional variety of courses, covering the whole range of study areas and all levels of higher education. In fact, offering over 700 training programmes per year (from degrees to continuous professional training), the University of Porto has teaching solutions for everyone.
Teaching staff comprising 1,860 full-time equivalent teachers (71% of which PhDs) ensures a high quality of training that makes the University of Porto the most sought-after University in Portugal and the chosen university for candidates with highest grades.
Currently, nearly 31,000 students (6,500 postgraduates) attend the 273 degrees, masters and doctoral courses of the University of Porto. Every year, around 2,000 international students choose this university to complete their higher education.
With 69 research units, the University is responsible for over 20% of the Portuguese articles indexed each year in the ISI Web of Science.
Over half of its research units were classified as “Excellent” or “Very Good” by the latest international evaluations. In fact, the University of Porto has some of the most productive and internationally renowned Portuguese R&D centres.
In the last years, the University has been focusing in providing greater economic value to its scientific production and recent partnerships with the Portuguese industry leaders have already resulted in several innovations with proven success in the national and international markets.


Brief History of the University of Porto

The University of Porto is approaching its one hundredth birthday, having been formally founded on 22nd March 1911, immediately after the Portuguese Republic was established. The roots of the institution, however, date back to 1762, when the Nautical Class was created by D. José I. This school, along with subsequent schools which were created, (Sketching and Drawing Class, created in 1779; Royal Academy of Maritime and Trade Affairs, in 1803; Polytechnic Academy, in 1837) were to be responsible for training students in Porto over the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, providing a response to the need for qualified staff in the fields of naval affairs, trade, industry and the arts.
In 1825, the first medical school was founded in Porto, entitled the Royal School of Surgery, which was transformed in 1836 into the Medical-Surgical School, as another axis of training at the University of Porto.
In parallel, the Sketching and Drawing Class gave rise to other schools – the Porto Academy of Fine Arts (1836), later the Porto School of Fine Arts (1881), and finally the Porto Higher Institute of Fine Arts (1950). The latter transformed over the last quarter of the twentieth century, into the current faculties of architecture and fine arts at the University of Porto.
While the University of Porto was initially structured around two faculties (Science and Medicine), over the course of the twentieth century, a diversification of knowledge arose and schools gained autonomy. Even during the 1st Republic, in 1915, the Technical Faculty was born (renamed the Faculty of Engineering in 1926), along with the Faculty of Arts in 1919 and the Faculty of Pharmacy in 1925.
During the authoritarian regime, created after the military movement on 28th May 1926, growth at the University of Porto was conditioned: the Faculty of Arts was removed in 1928, and only restored in 1961; only the Faculty of Economics was truly created from scratch during this period, in 1953.
After the revolution in April 1974, and until the end of the century, the University of Porto finally began to expand. The six existing faculties at the time were completed by a further eight: the Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences (1975), the Faculty of Sport (1975), the Faculty of Psychology and Education Science (1977), Faculty of Architecture (1979), Faculty of Dental Medicine (1989), Faculty of Nutritional and Food Science (1992), Faculty of Fine Arts (1992) and Faculty of Law (1994). Today, the University of Porto has fourteen faculties and one post-graduate school, the Porto Management School, created in 1988 and whose name changed to University of Porto Business School in 2008.
