Student review [#31829] for Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition
at Universitat Pompeu Fabra - UPF

Classes and Teachers: Most of the classes are fun and are taught by well-qualified teachers who are native speakers of the language you study (English, German or French). You can certainly learn a lot about the language itself during this degree, but don’t expect to learn a lot of German or French. The level is expected from the students, but the language classes are disorganized and there is no continuation of the program. Another issue are the assignments students have to submit each week. This causes a lot of work and many students feel very overwhelmed, especially before exams, because there is no gap between submitting assignments and sitting the exams.

Class Schedule: Classes organization is a mess and you have a lot of breaks between classes and end up on campus between 1pm and 8pm, with only 4 hours of classes. This makes it very difficult for students to work during the week.

University itself: Few activities to get involved in. Few events. A shame.
