My name is Pavel. I come from Poland. In Poland I studied at the University of Lodz and now I study here. I chose Guarda because I thought it would be a more peaceful, calm, place, because I don’t like big, noisy cities. Here I want to gain knowledge and learn Portuguese.
International Student,
Hi, I’m Violeta and I come from Valencia. I am studying Industrial Design at Politecnica de Valencia and I’m in fourth grade. I chose Guarda because they recommended the city to study, because we are going to work a lot and the city is small and it’s good to be here.
As for expectations: to meet many people, many Portuguese and learn to speak Portuguese.
International Student,
in Equipment Design,
My name is Paluxo and I came from Guinea-Bissau. I just enrolled in the Master of Health Applied Science. I chose this master’s because I have already done a technical course in health inspection and sanitation in Guinea and I need more knowledge in the area. I hope it is good because it’s a new reality. Between there in Guinea and here, the education systems are very different. I want to learn everything that will be taught here.

Hello. I’m Julia and I come from the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia. I’m in the fourth year of the course of Industrial Engineering and Product Design and I chose Guarda because it included many different disciplines and wanted a country with customs similar to those of Spain. As for the expectations I have for Guarda: getting to know new cultures and people and learning a lot of practical career issues.

Your feedback is important to us. Complaints and suggestions help us grow and improve our policies, processes and systems. Likewise, compliments help us understand when we are meeting and exceeding our performance and service standards.
The Instituto Politécnico da Guarda (IPG) is committed to:
Anonymous complaints are accepted, but their resolution can sometimes be conditioned, for they don’t allow to assess additional information that may be important for their resolution. The lack of a contact also makes it impossible for IPG to transmit the treatment and resolution of the reported situation to the complainant.
