Universidad Tecnica Particular de Loja - UTPL (reviews)

Truly one of the best universities in southern Ecuador. This university has contributed not only to the academic development of its students but also to the development of the city of Loja. I personally had a great experience with my Master’s degree in Criminal Law. I completed the entire course online due to my work and finished all my subjects without any problems. It was a very comfortable process from home, and the student platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate. This isn’t the only Master’s degree the university offers; there are many more, but from my experience, I can say that my training in Criminal Law has been quite comprehensive.

My experience at the university was quite pleasant. For the most part, I really enjoyed my time as a student here. My degree lasted approximately four years. The schedules were demanding, as I recall. I spent almost the entire day at the university and came home quite late. Aside from that, I highlight the humanistic quality of my professors, who used their knowledge to train future English teachers. Another very beneficial tool for our training were the books available in the library. There were many books to guide us. My classmates and I spent entire afternoons working on assignments there; the library is a very convenient place. There are even resources for all majors. I definitely recommend the university and would continue my master’s studies here again.

My opinion about UTPL is average, just another average university. It has its ups and downs. A great advantage is the teacher staff. I have met amazing professors who give their heart and soul into teaching students become good professionals. But one of the things this university lacks is more empathy for students. The administrative staff can be quite useless when it comes to helping students. Simple requests can take ages to be answered, even if it is high priority. I would highlight the library and resources available for students. The campus is very nice and clean.

I majored in teaching English as a foreign language a few years ago, and I am going to be honest with my experience back in the day. I started university when I was 18 and teachers were a little bit intimidating at first. Looking back I wish they would have been more welcoming. We had local teachers and natives as well, they were all have wide experience in higher education, so I can say that the major does provide quality education. On the other hand, there were some issues regarding faculty organization. The president only threw parties instead of actually changing the dynamics between students. The location is nice, the campus is on top a hill. It has a beautiful view of the whole city, at least being there felt peaceful and relaxing. Again, I graduated a few years ago I hope things changed for the best and future students succeed in their profesional life.
