Universidad CEU San Pablo - CEU USP (reviews)

It’s a good university, with excellent professors and a great campus that offers all the amenities in a very nice part of the city. I learned a lot during my time there and was always treated with great respect. It’s an experience I highly recommend.

Overall, I had a really good experience at Universidad CEU San Pablo. I was there as an exchange student, and one of the things I liked the most was the people. Everyone was very nice and I got along really well with the Spanish students, even though I was taking classes that didn’t have many exchange students. It was actually a good way to meet local students and get to know people outside of the exchange group.

I took three courses. Two of them, Computer Models and Operating Systems, were really good. I liked the classes, the professors were good, and the level was challenging enough. The other one, Numerical Methods, was probably the weakest of the three. I found it quite easy and I don’t think the course was as well structured as the others.

The university itself was also a nice place to study. The only downside for me was that it was a bit far away, depending on where you live. But overall, I really enjoyed my time there and I would definitely recommend it as an exchange experience. I especially liked being able to meet Spanish students and experience university life in Madrid.

I really liked the university, although compared to the level of rigor in Argentine universities, CEU’s falls quite short. Passing exams is easy, and the subjects don’t require much study time or dedication. I would recommend it because it’s a good faculty and I recommend the cultural experience, but not academically.
Thank you!

I had a very positive experience at CEU San Pablo. The Double Degree in Law and International Relations is very comprehensive, and I found that both fields complement each other extremely well: Law provides a strong foundation for understanding international relations, while International Relations adds a broader political and global perspective. I also enjoyed the campus life, which is very active and gives you plenty of opportunities to meet people and get involved in university activities. One thing that may not suit everyone is that some professors have a rather traditional teaching approach and more conservative perspectives. Overall, I would recommend CEU to students looking for a demanding but well-rounded university experience.

During the first semester of 2025, I went on an exchange programme at CEU San Pablo University in Madrid, Spain, and choosing that university as my destination was the best decision ever. Not only did I learn a lot in class, where I was given the opportunity to put into practice what I had learned through theoretical lectures, but I also learned through the numerous opportunities I was given. In four months, my classmates and I visited two advertising agencies, collaborated on a communication project with an NGO, had meetings with communication experts, attended TED Talks with professionals who discussed the challenges the world faces nowadays, participated in a graphic design and collage workshop, and had the opportunity to present a communication project to experts working for major companies.

Overall, this exchange programme was much more than an academic experience. It allowed me to put my knowledge into practice, gain a deeper understanding of the communication industry, and learn from professionals and organizations in a different cultural context. Most importantly, it challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, become more independent, and grow both personally and professionally. Looking back, choosing CEU San Pablo was definitely one of the best decisions I have made during my university journey.

I earned my degree 3 years ago. Nowadays I’ve realized that my peers from other universities will be shortly replaced by AI, because they only learned how to design buildings in CAD. This is something of no value. Real architects need to deeply understand so many technical contents, from structural logic to environmental performance, from construction systems to regulatory frameworks.

What truly sets a professional apart is the ability to think, to reason, to integrate disciplines, and to make informed decisions—not just to operate software. During my studies, I was constantly pushed to understand why things work, not only how to draw them. That mindset is what keeps you relevant when tools evolve.

Looking back, I appreciate that my university focused on developing analytical skills, technical depth, and critical thinking. These are the qualities that AI cannot easily replace, and the ones that allow architects to lead projects rather than simply execute tasks.

If you’re looking for an education that goes beyond buttons and commands, and instead prepares you to face a rapidly changing profession with real intellectual tools, this is the place where you’ll find it.

The professors played a decisive role in my development. They didn’t just deliver content; they took responsibility for guiding us toward a more mature and professional way of thinking. Even in the courses I failed, they never left me alone with the frustration. Instead, they invested time in helping me understand why I hadn’t yet reached the level of rigor the discipline demands and which aspects I needed to strengthen. That combination of high expectations and genuine support is, in my experience, what truly distinguishes an institution committed to shaping architects capable of making thoughtful, well‑grounded decisions.

I study Digital Communication at CEU San Pablo and I want to highlight the professionalism of the teachers. Almost all of them work actively in the sector they teach, which really introduces you to the reality of the job market rather than just theory.

The facilities are also a huge plus to consider. We have access to television, radio, and photography studios that allow us to practice in an environment as close as possible to real life.

This practical approach, combined with the faculty’s experience, gives you a ‘professional view’ before you even graduate. I would recommend this university without a second thought

During my time at CEU University, I’ve had a very positive experience, especially because of the welcoming atmosphere that’s created from the very beginning. The small class sizes make it easy to integrate and feel supported from the start, and the professors are always willing to help and guide you. In the Advertising and Marketing degree program, the experience has been exactly as promised, with practical classes from the first year, such as radio and television, made possible by comprehensive facilities geared towards a professional environment.

My university is generally very good in the career I am studying, medicine, it has a good reputation and very good results in the MIR. In my opinion, everyone is very attentive to you, they help you as much as possible if you have a problem and they are almost always available for you. On the other hand, on some occasions, the organization is not entirely good and that causes the students at times to be a little lost. But in general, I am very friendly with the university, both its facilities and its staff.
