Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (reviews)

This program helps students who aim to upgrade their professional abilities finding an ambitious environment to grow and develop their knowledge. It is essential for us to have the opportunity to access the labor market easily to show our worth.

The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers so many grades and titles. Also have online grades and courses. There are so many things to do, especially if you are a Erasmus Student. Something that I disagree is some bad schedules on some subjects and exams in different grades.

I think it is a great program but can be amazing if you do emphasize music theory, not in the daily use of a laptop but by means of traditional music, the rules and techniques. This knowledge in relation to IT could be interesting for young people.

The professors of this university are not motivated, which demotivates the students and takes away their desire to learn. The treatment is very impersonal since the classes are overcrowded and it is not that the teachers care about the academic (or general) well-being of the students. The only good thing about this university is the cafeteria and its staff, which at least brightens your day after such a boring day. It would be nice if they considered joining the campuses in the same place, and promoting university life through activities or clubs.

The University of Las Palmas has many flaws in my opinion. At the teaching level, it is terrible, very poorly prepared staff who limit themselves to reading the presentations. In addition, the classes are overcrowded and it is very difficult to have personal and academic treatment. As for university life, it is very difficult to meet people because the campuses are very scattered and do not carry out activities to promote the atmosphere. The facilities leave much to be desired, being very poorly equipped. In general, I would not recommend this university.

I think it is necessary to emphasize that it is a career in which there are very good teachers, who teach from the heart. They are very good because they teach with joy but they also have a lot of experience in the practice of the subjects they teach, which enriches learning. It is also true that there are teachers who lack the vocation to teach and make the students dislike some subjects that can be very interesting.
On the other hand, from my point of view, the degree is quite poorly organized, with too much theory and little practice. In addition, there are many obsolete subjects, where things are given that are no longer necessary. It is a program anchored in the past.
Yes, I would recommend the degree, but it is true that there are many things to improve, and first of all, they have to change the study plan. That is essential.

Studying at ULPGC is not bad. We have a variety of programs, some of them with better teachers than others. The campus is really nice, outside the city, full of trees and vegetation. There is not so much student life because of Covid but you can meet people at the cafeteria.

I’ve been at ULPGC as a Erasmus student for half a year and I can highly recommend the university! I never had problems with the Organisation system, it’s quite modern (after the registration you can do everything online without any problem) and offers you access to the presentations from the classes, your schedule, the library and the wide range of extracurricular activities. You can participate in many sport and cultural activities, from weekly activities, a gym up to excursions on the weekend. The faculty of veterinary is well equipped and wonderfully located next to the sea (only disadvantage is that it’s outside town, so you have to go by bus approx. 20min). As an Erasmus student you don’t have any problem to find accommodation, either you search a shared flat on your own or you live in one of the universities student residencies. There are many Erasmus students coming to ULPGC each year, so you’ll always find international students and many events offered for them (which you can also join as local students :)). Most of the classes are held in Spanish, and it depends on the professor if they can/ want to speak English to you, so it’s definitively easier if you know some Spanish. To conclude, I really enjoyed my time there and I would recommend studying there, not only for the obvious advantages (sun, beach) but also for the university itself!
