Student review [#5462]
at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid - UAM

I studied Translation and Interpreting in the UAM, in Madrid. The campus is out of the city itself, 20 minutes by train from the city center. Therefore, in the campus there is literally only the campus, which is very nice when you live in a big city like Madrid so that you can breath fresh air and enjoy the nature, but take into account that the only way to reach the university is by public transport and by car.

There are many faculties together, I studied in the Philosophy and Letters’ one. In there, the atmosphere is really good and inclusive, no matter how you are, you will find your place there. Often there were photography and art expositions and music in the corridors, and there are two cafeterias with decent and cheap food.

The administration, however, is not the most efficient, and the schedule for the administrative offices was sometimes a bit hard to meet and therefore to get your questions answered. The exception is the International Relations Office. As most of the students of this Faculty go on Erasmus, they know how to give you advice and how to help and guide international students.

The teachers are usually good and competent and the classmates normally very open minded and interesting!
