From September 2023 to January 2024 I lived in Porto and studied at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) as an Erasmus+ exchange student from BME.

The teaching style was different from Budapest. Assessment leaned on research, presentations and team projects rather than written exams, and most groups were international. The courses I completed:

Cloud and Service-Oriented Computing
Data Analysis and Integration
Human–Computer Interaction

I graduated from BME in January 2024, at the end of the exchange.
