New Law students choose Católica to get to know "the world of rules and laws"

They chose Law at Católica and believe it is a winning bet. The new students of the Faculty of Law Lisbon School of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) enthusiastically received the shirts they promise to wear with pride. The international prestige of the University and the Law Faculty was decisive when it came to choosing the degree course. Once the decision has been made and entry has been secured, the time has come to get to know the new "home" and the colleagues who will share the path.

Constança Veríssimo is 18 years old, but she has already well defined the path she wants to follow in the coming years. This student of excellence is determined to succeed and although the undergraduate degree is only at the beginning, she already has plans for a Master's in Management. "I want to specialise in renewable energies, but everything will depend on how the law degree course turns my ideas around", says the student.

"My only application was to  Católica because I identified with the degree curriculum and because I thought the prestige of the University would open important doors for me", adds the student.

In the same group of young people is Francisca Luís, also 18 years old. The Open Day opened the doors of the university to her, which she chose without hesitation. "It was my only application. I knew I had the average to get in and so I didn't apply for anything else," confesses the student proudly.

"I love the atmosphere at Católica because it's similar to the school I went to. It makes me feel at home", adds the future lawyer. Another decisive factor, was the "quality and prestige of the teachers", which lead her to believe that she will have "here a teaching that lives up to expectations."

Studying at Católica was always what Bernardo Catarino wanted. The degree, however, "was a more difficult and time-consuming decision". The student refers that "I was undecided between Law and Political Science and International Relations, but Law ended up winning, because it is a more broad course", he concluded.

Alongside Bernardo is Sebastião Henriques, the student who has always liked "the world of rules and laws." The 18-year-old student says he applied to Católica and to a public university, but what he really wants "is to stay at Católica." After all, adds the student, "this University has a great prestige and this is from the outset a great advantage for students." In addition, he guarantees that "the foundations built here are so robust that they allow a safer entry into professional life."
