Universidad de Salamanca
speciality: English Language & Literature

The Bachelor’s Degree in English Studies at the University of Salamanca provides a comprehensive theoretical foundation, although it is sometimes overly traditional and poorly adapted to the current needs of the field. The methodology can become monotonous and repetitive if not complemented with practical experience. However, the Erasmus program represents the program’s highlight, allowing students to apply knowledge in real-life contexts, develop intercultural skills, and significantly enrich their academic and personal perspectives. Many of the professors leave much to be desired.

I absolutely loved this course! It delved deep into classic Spanish literature, and the discussions around Don Quixote were particularly memorable. The professor brought the texts to life with vivid explanations. The only issue was that the reading list was a bit too extensive for the timeframe.

The University of Salamanca offers an outstanding academic experience. The quality of the teaching staff, the practical approach to learning, and the enriching cultural diversity all made my time there truly rewarding. Highly recommended for those seeking a well-rounded education in an inspiring environment.

I loved studying at the University of Salamanca. I got a Master’s in Comparative Literature and Literary Theory. My classes were interesting and my professors were, overall, not only very knowledgeable, but also very kind and willing to help and offer guidance. There is a diverse interest pool which is very useful when looking for a supervisor.
The only drawback I can think of is that the administration wasn’t the most accommodating for international students. Some things were rather confusing, coming from a whole different country, let alone academic system, and admin wasn’t always as clear as it could be.
But overall, I would thoroughly recommend the university and am very happy with the program!

Compared to many other universities in Spain, it’s cheap. This implies that many times the quality of teaching is terrible, and in addition, the teaching staff is not very qualified. The only good thing that I would highlight is that you can sign up for a wide variety of activities.
