Our testimonials

Gustavo Letona

Graduate

Obtaining a double degree in Portugal in the last year of studies has allowed me to develop as a person and as a professional, while giving me the opportunity to interact with colleagues from different countries and, above all, to demonstrate my best attitude, performance, punctuality, and excellence, which are characteristics learned in Cayetano Heredia University’s Faculty of Stomatology. I have been able to prove that our training is on par with that of any other university. This great opportunity will allow me to exercise my profession in some countries of the European Union.
