Academically, UAM is known as one of the top universities in Spain and studying there guarantees good career prospects. The teachers in the faculties of Law and Economics are highly qualified both in the academic and the professional world, which is greatly appreciated. UAM has a very nice campus away from Madrid centre- which I see as a plus but should be considered when applying to this university, as assistance to class is normally compulsory. The biggest setback are its facilities- it is a fifty-year-old public university which hasn’t had much refurbishing done. With regards to internationality, UAM has hundreds of agreements signed with universities all over the world in order to guarantee international mobility to all students who want to study abroad and receives hundreds of incoming international students each year. Although hardly anyone lives on-campus (and take a 25-minute direct train to Madrid centre every day instead), student life at UAM is a big part of the experience of studying there and I would recommend you make the most of every “sangriada” that takes place!
