Don get me wrong, its a great university and the Vera campus is great but in my time there, I didn’t see many international students. It might be different for other faculties but in the ETSID, there is only one bachelors program taught in english, therefore the lack of internationals.

Other than that, the university offers a great deal of top of the notch laboratories (specially the combustion and aeronautics ones) and there are many student teams (hyperloop, formula student, azalea…) to further improve your experience there.

In my opinion, UPV is one of the best higher education center in Spain. I have had only good experiences with professors and their stuff. The university life is quite active despite of COVID situation.

My start in my bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering was complicated.
I felt like I lacked the level to be able to progress during the course.
However, the general atmosphere at the whole university is wonderful. And I took advantage of this to meet people in my class who could help me to improve personally.
Thanks to this, I gradually got to know more about the way of working that the university requires of each student.
In the end, in the fourth year, after a lot of effort and dedication, since it is a year in which a lot of work is done, as we have to take care of the internships in a professional company, as well as the final thesis.
These two tasks are especially important as you have to demonstrate to the professors everything you have learned during the previous four years. For that reason, it is really beautiful to be able to see the capacity you have as an engineer to work and carry out what you set out to do.
Finally, in July, I submitted my thesis and received my long-awaited degree as a mechanical engineer.

The UPV is for me one of the best universities of the world, its greats installations, teachers and the good behaviour of students makes you feel very good, also the facilities and public transport are perfect.

I have completed an engineering and a master’s degree in the UPV at the Vera campus in Valencia and it was a great experience, I have participated in courses at other universities and the services available to the UPV and the environment is not comparable to almost any university.
Not only in the education itself but in the later possibilities: internships in business, research, doctorates, start-ups, the UPV gives many opportunities to continue with your professional career.
