The Universidad de Burgos (UBU) is located in the castilian town of Burgos. Contrary to what stereotypes say about Spain, Burgos resembles some northeuropean towns, although the social environment can be easily acknowledged as Spanish, of course.
It’s a small university indeed, but it’s open to international stage: many relationships with other universities have been recently stablished, from Europe, Mexico, and even China (Chongqing University). Besides, its size has allowed me to have a more familiar relationships with all the staff. There are also plenty of Erasmus students to and fro. It’s quite easy to find an Erasmus grant to travel anywhere else in Europe for one year. What else … ? 😀 Ah! you can attend some subjects in english, so take a look!
Despite being a relatively small town, Burgos and UBU ‘ve got a good cultural scene, and what’s more: in just 2 hours by car, you can reach Madrid, so it’s perfect for a different weekend.
I’d like to highlight my own degree, Comunicación audiovisual (Bachelor’s Degree in Audiovisual Communication). Lately it’s become one of the best of its kind, and is followed by students from everywhere in Spain and abroad. Thanks to it, I consider myself ready to face my professional career.
Some of my fellow students have successfully applied for a job as a professor. I consider this as a great opportunity, though not for me: I found something else ins the first place, but … who knows …
