Rovira i Virgili University - URV (reviews)

Overally, this university is a solid one where you can find studies from every area. In my case, I was a student of biotecnology degree and it’s a really difficult one to explain and understand the concepts, but the teacher were capable to transmite the knowledge without losing us in the process. Another highlight is that rovira virgili is not a huge university, that’s why the number of students in each class is around 25-30, and teacher can give us more attention when needed.

The Master’s in Synthesis, Catalysis and Molecular Design at URV offers a rigorous and research-oriented curriculum. The programme is delivered entirely in English and is coordinated by the Faculty of Chemistry in collaboration with the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ). It has been recognized with the “Accreditation with Excellence” by the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency (AQU), highlighting its commitment to high academic standards and research integration

My time as a PhD student at Rovira i Virgili University was a valuable and enriching experience. I was part of the MINOS research group at the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Engineering (DEEEA), where I developed strong skills and experience in both academia and industry-focused research. The quality of research was impressive, and the university provided a motivating environment for personal and professional growth.

One challenge I faced early on was with the administrative process, particularly obtaining my student card, which took longer than expected. However, beyond that, my experience was overwhelmingly positive. The professors were knowledgeable and supportive, the campus was full of ambition and energy, and I had the chance to connect with a diverse community of international students.

Overall, I highly recommend Rovira i Virgili University to anyone seeking a dynamic and research-driven academic journey.

The University itself is good, the facilities are okay but there’s a lot of room for improvement. The methodologies used are fine, good teachers and environment, although heavily focused on memorizing content and having good grades.
