A FEP-UCP destaca-se pela exigência, notória ao longo de toda a Licenciatura em Psicologia e no Mestrado de PDRH. Saliento o plano de estudos multidisciplinar, que prima pelo rigor e excelência, permitindo que nos tornemos excelentes profissionais. O apoio e cuidado de todos os docentes é algo vivido na FEP-UCP: além de partilharem conhecimento teórico, sempre incentivaram o pensamento crítico ao longo de todo o percurso. O Mestrado PDRH destaca-se em relação aos demais, devido às múltiplas áreas envolvidas que nos asseguram um conhecimento mais abrangente e completo. Os métodos de ensino permitiram que a transição para o mercado de trabalho fosse mais fácil, graças às competências que fui desenvolvendo durante a frequência do mestrado.

Master's in Psychology of Human Resources Development

UCP's Department of Education and Psychology stands out for its competitive value, providing its students with many opportunities and beginning their journeys by offering a wide range of differentiated curriculum. In my Master's program, I had the opportunity to learn and grow through the support of excellent profesionals who, in addition to sharing their theoretical knowledge with students, required us to always think critically. It's not possible to measure all the learning I did, but I can say that this program allowed me to understand not only many facets of working in human resources, but also to become more aware of demanding obstacles that any human resources professional has to overcome.

The technical and behavioral quality of invited students manifests itself not only in the curricular work performed by the students, but also in the impact these students have on the organization's work. Therefore, we believe that the curricular internships have had a positive effect on students' pre-professional experience, as they have significantly contributed to the People Management Unit through their technical and behavioral support. Notable proof we have of this effect is best described from one student's experience. After their curricular internship with us, they later joined as a Personnel Management Technician in the organization. Your contributions to this organization will be highly valued.

Master's in Psychology of Human Resources Development

Though my journey at Católica, I encountered many professors who contributed to my personal and academic growth, which allowed me to clearly define what I wanted to during the psychology program as well as during my time as a working professional. It was the Master's in Psychology of Human Resources Development that opened the doors for me, expanded my knowledge in HR psychology and taught me how we can best act, be it in organizations or other areas, without fear or inconsistency. The teaching methods and support fostered my successful entrance into the labor market, which is recognized, by all professionals, as a complement to the academic success provided by UCP - Porto.

Master's in Psychology of Human Resources Development

UCP's Department of Education and Psychology was my first choice from the moment I decided which area of psychology I wanted to specialize in. I believe that the Master's in Psychology (HRD) stands out not only for the incredibly multidisciplinary plan of study, but also the care in which the university provided personalized support for its students. Since the beginning of my academic journey in this department, I was given the opportunity to explore a practical aspect of psychology; at the same time, I expanded my range of knowledge in these areas.

Durante os dois anos de Mestrado na Católica tive a oportunidade de participar em disciplinas que me prepararam para o mercado de trabalho de forma completa. O Mestrado oferece uma estrutura equilibrada entre teoria e prática, expondo os seus alunos a estágios com empresas bem estabelecidas no mercado português. Após vários anos de experiência de trabalho estou confiante que o sucesso que tive adveio parcialmente dos ensinos e experiências a que fui exposto neste mestrado.
