The Barcelona GSE is a very tough institution but allows its students to gain an incredible amount of skills and knowledge. Prior to joining the BGSE I did not expect such high quality both in teaching and research, but I am very glad that my expectations have been more than met. Besides, the school offers nice social events around the year. However, actively pursuing a Master’s degree at the school one should be aware of the big effort one needs to put in. Most students visit the library seven days a week and still struggle to keep up with the workload. Despite this, I am very grateful for being here, never has my learning curve been steeper than at BGSE.
