Psychology Students Association

The Association main mission seeks to go beyond the opportunities to broaden knowledge in the various areas of our course, it aims to conciliate the continuity of learning in a second home environment for our students. Here, all students are, and deserve to be, welcomed. All the individual characteristics (e.g. more extrovert profile; more reserved profile; difficulties in exposure; critical thinking skills; interest/like for arts or advertising; among many others) of our students can contribute to different perspectives, a new look to the future and have a place in decision making and planning. To the students, we wish that they live the association as a team, where the difficulties of one are overcome by the facilities of the other. We want you to experience the association as a space where we can all learn from each other and where out of the box or ‘absurd’ ideas are welcome!

Sometimes, the arrival of a good idea can arise from something as simple and ordinary as a derisory debate. The secret, in this house, is to deconstruct and annex the different ideas together, gathering with open, critical and reflective eyes, the “whys” and the “what ifs” to build our answer. In the association, room always opens up for the arrival of a new opinion or a new member.”

To quote Whitney Houston and our esteemed vice-chancellor António Ferrão Filipe, YOU ARE THE BEST and the pleasure is all ours in having you joining us.
