Student review [#33863] for Software Engineering
at Universitat Pompeu Fabra - UPF

Hey Nader! I’m curious to know about UPF’s attendance policy for undergrad students, and the work-life balance. Did you get time to hit the gym and stuff?

Hi Ishan! Of course, I go to the gym aswell. If you have morning classes its better if u go evening, classes can start at 8:30am-2:30pm. Evening classes can be from 2:30pm-8:30pm. But with time management it is easely possible! In general, the attendance policy does not matter, but some subjects require teamwork projects or mini tests in class, so be weary of that.For work-life balance, It is very welcoming and inciting to go out and party ( you know how Spain is xD) So if classes have a maximum of 6h (4 subjects) and 8h of sleep you have the other 10 hours to study, hit the gym and go out every day if you want to. Easy!

hi nader! i\’m quite desperate because I really can\’t understand how to apply for an undergraduate degree at upf as an italian student.the information on the website are so messy and not precise. could you please help me and share your experience? thank you so much you would save me for real!

Is it too much to take 4 CS classes in a quarter. I’d be there as an exchange student. I also want to have time to travel inside Spain during the weekends so don’t want to be too overwhelmed with class work.
