University of Porto one hundredth birthday

December 6, 2010

Universidade do Porto

The University of Porto, where I got my dental medicine degree 23 years ago, is approaching its one hundredth birthday, having been formally founded on 22nd March 1911, immediately after the Portuguese Republic was established.

This is a very important date for the city of Oporto, where I live and I exercise my work as a dentist. Personally, if the date was already very important to me, as former student, has now become even more after being invited to join the Honorary Committee of the centennial of the University of Porto.

Today, the University of Porto has fourteen faculties and one post-graduate school.
