Universidad Complutense de Madrid - UCM (reviews)

What I would highlight most about my stay at this university is the possibility of meeting professors who are willing to help you in any way they can. However, some of the facilities on my campus are in urgent need of renovation as the campus is a bit old.

One thing I like the most is that there are many teachers who are very wise and experienced. However, sometimes you are taught by another type of teacher that you can tell they don’t like teaching. They make the class boring. Also, my classmates and I always agree that there are quite a few subjects that are not really important but at the university, they give a lot of importance to them. The university life, the classmates and the activities you make with them make your studies more bearable.

I liked the classes, the teachers and the whole experience. They helped me if I ever needed anything and the teachers always had advice for us. You learn a lot about different cultures since you meet people from other countries.

I had such a wonderful experience studying at this university. On my behalf, I have to say that it is one of the best universities in Madrid. It offers a huge variety of programs and they are always there to help. Everything is well explained and if you need further help or information they are happy to make it easier. The university has very qualified teachers in each program. Classes were so personalised and you could request tutoring as many times as wanted. Classes were both official and practical. I would completely recommend it to anyone who is thinking of studying psychology and perhaps some other program.

The faculty has a very nice library which is available for everyone. In fact, they extend their schedule during the exam period. As per what to do when finishing, the university provides good contacts to do internships. Access to the university is easy. This university has a really good connection with public transport and it’s impossible to get lost. The university offers a huge range of Erasmus programs too.

Really happy I studied at this university and would recommend it to everyone!

I only recommend entering the law career if you really like it and you are passionate about it, because if you do not want to leave it continuously. I consider that the career itself is not bad, that is, most of the subjects are interesting, the bad: the teachers and the faculty. There is zero interest in helping the student and solving the doubts or problems that they have. Except for a few teachers, the rest go to class, read you some slides and leave. I also think that there should be theoretical-practical classes and more help with the use of legal language since we are not used to using it in our day to day. In summary, there is a great passivity in this university with respect to the student.

There are very different people, the program is very good and there are very good teachers. When we were in quarantine, the online program did not work very well … and the organization did not go well, but despite this, they tried to provide us with facilities … As a public university I recommend it 100%

I think it was a good bachelor’s degree, I wouldn’t define it as excellent, but not bad either. However, it has a great handicap, the few practices that are done, I only did it in the last course and It was poor quality, I didn’t really learn. Furthermore, it is impossible to find a job if you do not do a master’s degree, but at the level of knowledge, it is fine.

To study in the city center is a huge privilege and it is even more if you go to the Faculty of Philology of the UCM. It’s so nice and you really get to grow knowledge thanks to the faculty members and of course others students

The Complutense University of Madrid is one of the best known within the community, especially for the number of degrees offered and the age of it, and therefore, each faculty and the degrees offered in them are of very diverse quality.

In general, my experience was positive since the quality of the teaching staff and the university with respect to the careers within the humanities branch is quite high. The subjects are very interesting and are in line with what is offered, it has a very wide offer of books and other teaching materials, in addition to a large number of libraries (at least one for each faculty).

The negative side responds more to the antiquity of the Complutense and how in many respects it becomes noticeable, the facilities remain practically the same and the computer work tools are also the same. In this, it lags far behind other universities.

On the positive side, I can highlight the curriculum of the teaching staff and the high quality of teaching, in addition to the autonomy they give the student, despite the burden that the Bologna plan has many times in this regard. The virtual classroom is also very intuitive and easy to use, in addition to also having a virtual library. In addition, it is practically in the center of Madrid, being one of the best located having excellent communication on public transport, having one of the best campuses in the community.

In short, despite being dated and lagging a bit behind other public universities in Madrid, I consider that my training at Complutense has been the best choice when it comes to pursuing a degree in letters.

It has an outdated infrastructure, but there are a lot of degrees, beautiful parks and a great social environment with my partners. I had a great experience y this stage of my life and I could learn many subjects.
