UAlg welcomes new students to the community with students from over 110 countries

Barlavento15 September 2026 at 16:22

The University of Algarve (UAlg) received around 1500 new students at a ceremony that took place yesterday in Faro. The new students thus began their academic journey at the algarvian academy, which has a total of over 11 thousand enrolled students.

The higher education institution stands out for its international diversity, with students from over 110 countries. This reality reflects the multicultural character of the university and its capacity to attract students from different parts of the world.

The welcoming ceremony for new students marked the official start of the academic year for these young people who are now part of the UAlg academic community. The event took place in the city of Faro, which serves as the university's headquarters.

Why this matters

The welcoming ceremony for new UAlg students is relevant for the Algarve region as the university's growth to over 11 thousand students, many from over 110 countries, has direct economic impact on the region through international student spending and reinforces the Algarve's position as an international academic attraction hub.

Rocha Peixoto Secondary School Prepares for Start of School Year in Atypical Context

Rocha Peixoto Secondary School, in Póvoa de Varzim, prepares for the start of the school year with a focus on stability after a period marked by delays in the grading of national exams and the reapprciation processes, which generated anxiety in students and families. The leadership, led by Luís Fabião, guarantees individual follow-up so that no decision dependent on final grades compromises the start of classes, relying on the Welcome Plan as a central tool. The entry into force of the new law restricting the use of mobile phones up to the 3rd cycle is another notable element, with the school viewing the measure as a pedagogical opportunity to reinforce concentration and in-person interaction. In a year under administrative pressure and legislative changes, ESRP is betting on proximity and organization to ensure a serene school environment.
