I enjoyed the good learning facilities, some teachers were really professional and helpful – not most of them, though. I enjoyed getting to know other students with similar interests, even though it was difficult to develop “University life” within the university campus, due to the lack of spaces. Also, some subjects had a lack of a practical scope, and should be modernized, in my opinion.

Overall, I can say I am satisfied with my programme. Through it, I gained part of the communication and language skills I have now. Although I have to say that the rest of them were achieved by practice, and this lacks a little in the programme (I did it by myself in different internships). If I had to change something, I will reduce theoretical lectures and replace them with practical ones. Especially, because some of the courses related to the theory were pretty similar during the years. For me, journalism is more about getting in contact with real world and improving your communication skills in the real field.

The first thing I liked about the programme was the practical approach to most of the modules, as opposed to heavy theoretical leanings. the school is also located in the centre of Barcelona with modern building architecture. Professors and tutors are knowledgeable and willing to help. It was impossible to get school accommodation as a postgraduate exchange student, which increased the overall cost of living in the city.

I chose to study at this university because many friends recommended it to me. I think it has good teachers, the subjects and agendas are updated.
It is always good to study in some recognized place in the world because that speaks of how well you learn.
Yes I would recommend it.

In my current experience coming to UPF, the first thing I have found out how it prides itself as a university with a vast network of opportunities for its students. More than that, though, it holds a place for students personal and school projects, with online networks to expose and promote them. As such, it carries various platforms for networking online and in person, even if accessing them can sometimes feel like a tricky labyrinth. Nevertheless, they are equipped with an IT center which always helps with any issues on accessing these platforms.
As to the classes, having small groups of students per program allows more direct interactions with professors and fellow classmates, as well as one-on-one debates and class practices. It often has group exercises directed towards the specific master’s. And as an international student myself, the opportunities to make connections with classmates and professors alike allow for an easier transition into this new experience, as well as my very own online information portal where there are forums with specific guidelines for international students for adapting both to the city and classes.
All in all, the university provides for its students however it can, has more than one option for current and future job offers and is always willing to provide a helping hand with its team of counsellors and guides.
