Universidade da Coruña - UDC (reviews)

Most of the subjects are quite boring, and although the professors are qualified, the teaching methods aren’t very dynamic. Most of them just show you slides or read you from the textbook. So I think the degree should be more practical. I studied law, and you graduate without knowing how to work. Perhaps other degrees offer more practical experience. That said, the University of A Coruña (UDC) is quite poorly organized; they don’t explain procedures well, there’s often confusion, sometimes deadlines are too short, sometimes too long…

The professors are good, but the facilities could be more modern and there should be more buses; they’re often very crowded and annoying. Otherwise, it’s a good university and very close to the city, which is a plus.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my undergraduate programme in Landscape Architecture. I studied primarily at Kırklareli University in Turkey, and I had the opportunity to complete one semester at Universidade da Coruña in Spain through the Erasmus programme. The international component of my education was particularly valuable, providing me with a broader perspective on design approaches and environmental planning. While I expected the coursework in Spain to be more challenging, the experience was enriching both academically and culturally. The combination of local and international training has significantly contributed to my professional and personal development. Although the education I received at UDC was easier compared to what I experienced in my home country, it was still very educational and engaging. I would definitely recommend this programme to future students interested in gaining a diverse and well-rounded education in the field of landscape architecture.

The Early Childhood Education program at the UDC School of Education is quite good. It has a very practical approach, which is greatly appreciated because it’s not all textbooks: you start early with internships in schools, and that makes all the difference.

The faculty, in general, is very involved and approachable. It’s clear they care about education and many are up to date with new methodologies. Occasionally, there are classes that are more theoretical or a bit dense, but this is normal in any program.

The atmosphere at the faculty is quite good and friendly, and that helps a lot when you’re just starting out. The resources are good, although some classrooms and materials could be more modern, especially in terms of digital resources.

In short, it’s a good option for anyone who wants to train as a preschool teacher. You learn a lot and are well prepared for the classroom, which is ultimately the most important thing.
