Testimonies
Since I came to the United States of America I have had amazing times, I have met new people who have helped me a lot, my English has improved a lot too and I have learned a lot about this new culture. It has been a great experience and even with the ups and downs has led me to excellent opportunities for the future and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to be here. All the efforts needed to make this project possible were worthwhile. Beatriz Soares
My name is Bruno Teixeira and I am one of the students from UPT University that is studying in the United States of America. The University that I am currently studying, thanks to the program ERAMUS+, is called SUNY Potsdam. This University, located in New York state, is quite big and it is a great place to get knowledge. The amount of work that hey give us here is quite intensive, but I have learned a lot from the experience that I am having here so far, and I am enjoying it. The infrastructures are amazing. It snows a lot, but the residences are big and warm. There are three restaurants to choose from to eat and this University has its own gym and swimming pool. Everybody is kind in this University, and I have made a lot of friends. This is being a great experience in my life, and I will never forget these moments
I am a student of Hospitality Management at the University Portucalense and I am studying in the United States at SUNY Potsdam University in the ICM program. It has been a fantastic experience, very different minds from what I was used to in Portugal, different teaching methods and above all the requirement is much higher but all the teachers and students welcomed me and it is paying off! I strongly advise anyone interested in this experience because it will surely change the way the world comes! Pedro Pinho
Incoming Students Mobility from State University of New York - Potsdam
Welcome day for Incoming students Cara Aguirre and Sarah Wilder
De Nova Iorque para o Porto
Ao abrigo do programa Erasmus + - International Credit Mobility, a estudante norte-americana Cara Aguirre, de 35 anos, natural da Califórnia e a estudar em Nova Iorque, escolheu a Universidade Portucalense para fazer uma experiência de estudo internacional nas áreas do Turismo e da Cultura. Estagiou na Quinta do Noval e sonha “um dia ter uma vinha”.
Em maio do ano passado, Cara visitou pela primeira vez a Universidade Portucalense, para participar na conferência internacional “Climate change and Wine Tourism - the view of experts on Agriculture, Tourism and Wine Tourism”, onde apresentou uma comunicação, na qualidade de estudante da Universidade de Postdam, em Nova Iorque. A hospitalidade que sentiu nesse momento desafiou-a aprender mais sobre a cultura portuguesa. Reconhecida a oportunidade, candidatou-se ao programa Erasmus e chegou à UPT em setembro.
Recorda que encontrou “estudantes muito acolhedores, professores muito atenciosos e um ensino diferente”. Considera que “a educação portuguesa aborda questões práticas, enquanto a educação nos Estados Unidos da América concentra-se mais em trabalhos de investigação, debates e avaliações. Em Portugal, o sistema de ensino prepara os alunos para serem bem-sucedidos na área de trabalho que planeiam trabalhar. Creio que é uma grande vantagem!”
Integrada na licenciatura de Turismo (3º ano), fez um estágio na Quinta do Noval. “Trabalhei com colegas portugueses, o que foi muito importante para mim. Eu queria muito aprender o idioma e esta oportunidade permitiu-me aprender muito sobre a cultura e a história de Portugal”.
Apaixonada pelo Porto, leva no coração “as igrejas, as margens de Vila Nova de Gaia, o Estádio do Dragão e os Aliados” e deixa-nos a sua citação favorita: "Uma atitude positiva pode realmente tornar sonhos em realidade”.
