Student review [#20116] for Agricultural Science
at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia - UPV

A couple of years ago I graduated as a food technologist. I have to admit that taking it at this university generates a certain prestige, at least in the Valencia Community, since companies rely a lot on the education given at the UPV.

Regarding the degree, although the first year is somewhat heavy because the subjects are mostly fundamentals, as the semesters pass you begin to see the subjects more focused on areas that may attract you, such as food quality or chemical or physical analysis among others. In addition, all the subjects have a practical part, either in laboratories or in seminars, which makes it easier to apply what has been learned and to know the operation of the different types of laboratories.

It is true that this degree does not have a specific specialization in one area, but like so many others, if there really is a specific part of food technology that calls you more, it is enough to take a master’s degree or course focused on it since the base main you get it in the degree.

It must be taken into account that the UPV requires at least a B2 level in a foreign language to obtain the title, therefore, this career in its program has a subject in the last year that allows you to validate your knowledge in B2 English and facilitate obtaining the degree if you do not have an external certification that accredits it.

To finish, I want to say that the Vera campus, where the degree is taught, is very well equipped, since there are various places to eat, gym, tennis court, swimming pool, bookstore, pharmacy, bank, etc., in addition to many green spaces.
