Despite how they sell and the interesting personalities that teach the class, it really does not offer anything offered by other universities.
As for the branch of audiovisual communication, cinema, etc. (Campus de Toledo), the campus does not have material. It does not provide facilities for classroom practices. The teachers on staff are very average, nothing remarkable. The media professionals who teach are very interesting, but these qualifications only serve to learn theory (something that can be learned on your own) instead of putting it into practice, opening a door to the professional world or simply making contacts.
The system of practices is inefficient. The university does not have as many agreements as it sells, nor does it have the strength to do or demand a minimum of conditions as other universities do.
In conclusion, it is not a bad university, but neither is it, as seen from the outside, superior in anything. Study here only if it catches you closer to home than others.

Some classes were good and we learned a lot about the film and television industry that a simple degree in Audiovisual Communication won’t show you (Executive Production, (real) Script Writting, professional edition, etc.). Some of the teachers are award winning professionals that currently work in the industry (Beatriz Bodegas, Joaquín Oristrell, Michel Gaztambide, Borja Cobeaga, the head of NYSU Films, Esther García…), so the insight they give is quite useful and you learn a lot from them.
On the other hand, the rest of the teachers are just that, teachers, who will only give you the theory and won’t even ask anything practical from you.
Also, it’s important to say that they provide you with the oportunity to do your internship at some of the most important film and tv producers from Madrid such as Morena Films, Wanda Films, Shine Iberia (producer of MasterChef) and in movies such as Alejandro Amenábar’s “Mientras dure la guerra”.
