Student review [#82658] for Public Relations and Advertising
at Universidad de Cádiz - UCA

Studying at the University of Cádiz, particularly at the Jerez campus, has been a good experience overall, but there are aspects that could improve. The campus doesn’t have the vibrant student atmosphere you’d expect at a university. Maybe it’s because the campus is small, which limits activities and the general university vibe.

The university seems to be trying to modernize its system, with new initiatives and plans for expansion. However, they still maintain certain traditional practices that can sometimes feel outdated or even frustrating for students. These traditions might discourage engagement and make the learning experience feel less dynamic.

That said, they have recently started offering activities like small professional festivals, job fairs, escape rooms, and events through a programme called Pasaporte Cultural. This initiative creates social spaces and organizes talks with professionals and even influencers, which is a great idea. However, these activities don’t always have enough participation. To really enjoy them, you need to actively search for an engaged group of people to join in and make the most of it.

The professors in my Advertising and Public Relations degree have been amazing. They have motivated me to push myself further, and their supportive and friendly approach made me feel part of a small community. We even had the chance to bond outside of classes, sharing fun moments like going out for drinks. It feels more personal and familiar, which I really appreciated.

On the other hand, I’ve noticed that this close connection is less common in the Tourism degree, perhaps because of the different dynamics or age groups.

Academically, the programme isn’t extremely difficult, but it requires regular effort to succeed. Sadly, I’m graduating soon, so I won’t benefit from the university’s recent efforts to improve and expand the campus. Hopefully, these changes, combined with the new activities, will create a better experience for future students.
