Almost a third of all the students placed at the Nursing School of Coimbra during the 1st phase of the national competition for access to higher education (90 out of 321) was enrolled in the first day.

Besides the team of the academic area and the collaborators of other services of the ESEnfC, also the Praxe Commission and the Veterans Council are welcoming the students, who will receive orientations regarding the enrolment location and the physical spaces of the institution.

To start with and to overcome the natural shyness of those arriving for the first time to a higher education institution, the students were invited by their colleagues to fill in a type of Identity Card (with their name, age and place of birth).

They should carry this “document” with them for a while, just for identification and integration. This happens because the «praxe is not a humiliation; it is diversion, integration and interaction», as mentioned by 3rd-year student Vanessa Martinho, who belong to the Praxe Commission.

On 25^th September, there will be a dinner (in the canteen of Campus A) after a walk around the town.

Many of the new students come from different regions of the country, such as Algarve (South) and Trás-os Montes (North).

The 25^th of September is also the official opening of classes for these students who will meet with their course coordinators and receive a student guide and a “freshmen kit”.

The ESEnfC is once again “operating”.

Welcome!
