Student review [#91490] for Translation
at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya - UOC

My experience with the UOC has been quite disappointing. Although the idea of a completely online university may seem modern and flexible, in practice I encountered many limitations that directly affected my learning and academic development.

One of the main problems was the lack of real support for students. On several occasions, I tried to contact the university to resolve administrative or academic questions, and the response was either nonexistent or extremely late. The only means of communication is email, which significantly delays any process, as there are no more direct channels such as phone calls or video calls. This creates a feeling of abandonment by the institution, especially when facing urgent difficulties.

Furthermore, the study materials for some subjects were outdated. In a virtual environment where content is expected to be up to date with current trends and technologies, I was surprised to find outdated texts and resources that don’t reflect current professional or academic reality. This detracts from the quality of the learning process and demonstrates a certain neglect in updating content.

While the flexible hours are a plus, they don’t make up for the lack of personalized attention and poor student support. I felt completely alone during the learning process, and instead of being an enriching experience, it became frustrating.

In short, I wouldn’t recommend the UOC if you’re looking for a university that truly supports your learning process. Communication is poor, support is scarce, and the materials are often substandard. It’s an option that needs to improve considerably in terms of student service.
