Housing services

The network of university residences, apartments and suites of SASUBI are intended to accommodate displaced students, enrolled in the University of Beira Interior and, preferably, scholarship holders. These homes provide several services that may be of interest to the student, and whose applications are formalized on an annual basis, in the determined periods by the services. The analysis of each application is based on the evaluation criteria defined in the regulation of the halls of residence of SASUBI.

Library services

The library of the University of Beira Interior, in comparison with other secular university libraries, is too young. Very recently, by Rector's proposal and decision of the General Council of UBI (2014), it has also joined the UBI’s Graphic Services and Publications, which are called Typography.

Student Reviews

Mountain experience

Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

The University of Beira Interior was indeed a very interesting discovery. In addition to being quite far from my hometown, the city is surrounded by mountains. It's been almost three years since I started my studies and I admit that I'm going to miss the air of Covilhã The seasons are quite defined and it is a beautiful place to live. The colleges are very good...

A familiar university, a great place to learn

Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

My overall opinion about UBI is pretty good. Although it is a relatively small university with around 9000 students, it has a lot to offer and a wide variety of degrees available. At UBI, you can encounter the right environment to study and succeed in life. There is a wide variety of projects you can join as well and make your studies less stressful and more interesting....

The town atmosphere

Alexandre rated 4 out of 5 stars

I would highlight the city's culture, atmosphere, and price. The town is small and everyone lives at a maximum of 15 minutes walk, it's very cozy. It's a very cheap city. The only thing is the education quality. As expected from a small-town university, the education quality can be pretty underwhelming. <br><i> Review provided by EDUopinions...
