This reflects our vision of being a global Faculty in which, regardless of their culture and geographic origin, students can share their ideas and expand their horizons through a greater knowledge of the Other" says Professor Nelson Ribeiro, Dean of Faculty of Human Sciences.

The new students heard words of welcome from Professor Nelson Ribeiro, Dean of FCH, Professor Alexandra Lopes, Associate Director of FCH and Guest Speaker, and Professor Peter Hanenberg, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation of UCP.
