Student review [#9359] for Electrical-Electronics Engineering
at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid - UPM

I had a bad experience in a PhD program in the UPM at the ETSIT. Many were the time that my supervisor was very stupid, treating me and other students in a bad and an inhumane way. The meetings were always difficult, rough words were frequently used, thousands of meetings were canceled by the supervisor, the supervisor did not want to do your job and the time to finish the PhD was not respected in any sense. Due to this, I only finished my studies in four years and a half, not mattering that my scholarship was for a maximum period of four years and committed with a foreign institution. I spent six months without a scholarship and financial resources, asking help for friends and family. Even as, UPM do not provide university residence for foreigners and it is very hard to find and to live in flats around the town. On the other hand, the experience living in Madrid was positive.
