Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.2, pp. 235-251. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9523.2015v21n2p235.

In this text, we discuss the impacts experienced by young people of provinces from Angola who migrated to Luanda, in order to study Psychology at Agostinho Neto University. We tried to understand their trajectories and expectations regarding the University and the professional practice of these young people. The subjects of the research are mostly the first generation of their families to enter university, which is a personal and collective achievement. Methodological strategies used in the research included the use of questionnaires, individual and group interviews, as well as bibliographic and documentary research. The students revealed their expectations for personal development, inclusion in the labor market and access to graduate studies. Students believe that psychologists are important for Angola and its people, shaken by the long civil war, because they will be able to contribute to overcome emotional distress and contribute to social organization in times of peace.
