Tecnologico de Monterrey (reviews)

It is a very good university, and you can learn and grow very much. It’s a more flexible environment, so it depends on you to get the best out of it. But the networking is one of the key aspects about this university

My experience studying Finance at Tecnológico de Monterrey has been highly challenging, yet completely definitive for my professional growth.

What I highlight the most is the practical approach through challenges and projects with real companies. This dynamic takes you entirely out of the classroom theory and forces you to work under corporate-level standards from day one, giving you a massive competitive edge and teaching you how to build valuable professional networks. Furthermore, the overall mindset of the ecosystem (including professors, the system itself, and even your own peers) constantly pushes you to do your best and improve every single day. In terms of tools, the infrastructure is top-tier, having access to finance labs equipped with Bloomberg terminals and professional research databases makes a real difference for anyone looking to stand out in the industry.

Regarding the faculty, most of the professors are excellent and have had a profound impact on my journey, though as with any university, there are always a few exceptions.

If I had to point out the biggest challenge or what might be difficult if you aren’t prepared, it is the pace of the current educational model. With most courses lasting only 5 weeks, the learning process is extremely accelerated. The system is designed to give you the core foundations, making self-directed learning and self-discipline absolutely indispensable. If you lack organizational skills, you risk getting just a superficial overview of highly critical topics.

I highly recommend Tec to anyone looking to pursue a career in corporate finance or fintech, as long as you are ready to take full ownership of your learning and leverage the world-class tools the university provides.

Tecnológico de Monterrey is a great university for those who seek professional connections since day one. With a unique programme that prioritizes problem-solving techniques in your specific field, your are pushed to think outside the box and promote innovation. Many students end up creating their own small businesses or even selling their prototypes to bigger businesses. It also promotes an international environement, allowing you to take classes in english with both local and international students. There’s also numerous exchange programmes that allow you to study abroad for the summer, winter or even entire semesters. There’s also the Life programmme, that allows you to practice any sport, enjoy any form of art or whatever extracurricular you may enjoy. As for food and snacks, there’s so many options! From Starbucks and Tim Horton’s to small foodtrucks, the options (and price ranges) are endless! Due to mexican government’s orders, most options are healthy and accessible. There’s also multiple printing spots where you can print anything and everything, however that’s not very necessary since most schoolwork is digital. The labs are very well equipped and the lab personnel are so kind and patient. Teachers are kind and understanding, and prioritize your understanding of the subject above anything, so if you’re in need of extra lessons, you just have to ask! No additional cost whatsoever. As a biomedical engineering student I’m quite satisfied with the opportunities I’ve been given, and I could not recommend my university enough.

It is very complete. I like the way they work, and installations as the library and the gym, but I don’t like how inexperienced are some teachers. Some of them have struggles teaching or with the language they are teaching.
