“Universidade Católica Portuguesa has always been first on my list of possible choices for Higher Education. Since it was recognised, in recent years, as the best University in the country, when I was in secondary education I began to take a special interest in its degrees and, after much research – accompanied by many doubts – I found certainty in FCH, in the PPE course.

I was particularly captivated by PPE, as I have always been curious about the challenges thrown up by society. The curricular plan for this degree not only offers a philosophical and political viewpoint, but also an economic view of the world. Therefore, I recognised that PPE would afford me the possibility of finding the interconnections necessary for the change that the world demands.”

“I chose this degree because it covers three aspects that interested me a lot; Philosophy, Politics and Economics. As for the choice of university, I thought this was the best option, given that UCP-FCH is a pioneer in the introduction of PPE in Portugal. What I value very much in this degree is the fact that it has an interdisciplinary curriculum and prepares students for three different areas that are very interconnected in their practice. I feel that this degree offers us a wide variety of academic skills that will best prepare me for my professional career in any of these areas.”
