Universidad de Cádiz - UCA Speciality : Marketing
programme: Marketing

Studying Marketing at UCA (Jerez Campus) has been an experience with ups and downs. At first, the classes were somewhat theoretical and with many outdated PowerPoints, but over time the practical subjects and group work have made everything more dynamic.

There are teachers who really get involved and make the classes interesting, while others just read slides. The worst thing is the lack of real projects and the scarcity of company trips, which makes the training too theoretical and not very connected to the working world.

The atmosphere on campus is calm, but there are events, talks and activities that give it some life. In short, if you like marketing and are looking for a public university, UCA delivers, although there is room for improvement in some aspects.

I’m from Cáceres and I came to Jerez to study Marketing, and the truth is that I couldn’t be happier here. The city is full of life, it’s super warm and welcoming, and although it’s not huge, it’s not so small that you’ll get bored either. There’s always something to do, especially during festive times like Christmas with the zambombas.

As for university, as everywhere, there are horrible subjects that you have to take until the end of your degree (yes, those that nobody wants), but there are also other more interesting ones. The professors are a bit of everything: some are quite strict, but others are wonderful and make things very easy for you. The exams are usually multiple choice, which sometimes helps and sometimes not so much. In general, the experience has been very good, and if I had to choose again, Jerez would still be on my list.
