Universidad de Granada - UGR (reviews)

It is an average University.The classes is in Spanish, so if you know Spanish you’ll be fine. So I whole heartedly recommend it, and would do the same even if I were a professor at the same university and didn’t have the same degree. you’ll have to get past not-so-good professors. Second, communication: AGP is not far, but there is no such thing, so don’t expect to get a direct flight anywhere in Europe. Depending on where you are from, the costs are: If you are not an EU citizen, you will have to pay the full tuition fee.

It is one of the oldest universities in Spain and that is evident. The university is in some way the heart of Granada.

However, your experience in this university will change a lot depending on what you study. Although it has much prestige in some areas, others maybe need some improvements to be top and what people demand.

Something important that fortunately works well is the bureaucracy. The university has a good integration of the new technologies and it is easier than in other universities to do all the administrative stuff, something so pleasant.

The city of Granada is a great place to be if you are student, but everything could be much better. Wherever you go you find university students in the city. You know and feel that, even if you don´t ever meet them. The problem is that although the university organizes a lot of activies and interesting courses, not many people take them. Maybe it needs more promotion. There is interaction in the city between the university students, but not as much as it could be. Nevertheless, the city has a good focus on students and you always feel like home.

I did like the environment a lot. At first, it was all new to me, as I came from another city to study in Granada – but I could adapt easily in a few days. There were international students, and I wished there were more of them, as the degree I was studying was English Studies; so we could have the chance to interact with more English speaking people before going to another country for the Erasmus Program.

Faculty teachers were all okay, although there were some whose English pronunciation was a bit rusty; but, overall, they were good. They helped quite a lot.

The worst could be, maybe, the administrative work. Some processes, like going to an Erasmus destination, were quite confusing, with many things to do; and it was really slow. For other matters, such as changing classes or subjects, was done quite good. As far as I remember, the queue to the administration office was long, as they wait to be attended to.

Life at Granada as a student was much fun and you get to know many people!. There are many places to visit (touristically speaking) like the Moorish streets, markets, teashops, antique houses/palaces and the famous Alhambra.

It was worth it!

About my programme I like the internships as they help you to understand it better and put it into practice, the classes are interesting but depending on the teacher they are more or less bearable. As for the teachers, they don’t usually help you beyond the basics and they usually take a long time to answer emails. I think the university could improve its facilities and have a student union like many other universities have to create a work and university atmosphere.
Apart from this, I recommend the university because it is demanding and it teaches and prepares you for the future, it also has a very good location in the city centre.
The university is not very international.
My experience at this university has been good and bad, good because I have lived the university experience of going to class, studying and meeting new people at the same time while I have made my social life, and bad because of desperation many times.

I study Finance and Accounting, I have to say that the degree is extremely good, it touches on every field you need in real life. The Problem with this degree is the structure of each year, which is quite messy, for example, there are subjects in the second or third year, that should be taught in the last year since they need you to be able to do things that the university has not taught you yet.

Also, the library is quite old, there is no new knowledge, and the things are the same year after year. But the good side of this Degree is that this year the Degree has been accepted in the CNMV, so you can have more jobs to apply for, and also the new generation of teachers is quite outgoing, and they want to adopt new tendencies that didn’t exist in the past.

Highly recommended. The informal atmosphere between professors and students allows the discussion of ideas and opinions in-depth; it avails real learnings. The institution itself is renowned and the school boasts a cafeteria with an amazing view and a gym… among any other resources you might need.

The academic content of the master has been very interesting to me and I think I have learned a lot.
Coordination I think it can improve since in the subjects taught by more than one teacher I have identified a lack of coherence.
In relation to the practices, several problems have arisen since, when working with the juvenile protection or penal system, on several occasions it has taken more than the appropriate period to accept the practices. Also the list of centers that were offered last year, at which point I had to choose, this year they were not offered.
However, the content of the master seems very good to me.

An interesting, hard but rewarding experience. I did a five-year bachelor’s degree. It was a good time of relationship with colleagues. Very good atmosphere with the teachers. Since I started studying I was doing work and practice. That was very good.
