Universidad Politécnica de Valencia - UPV Speciality : Mechanical
programme: Mechanical Engineering

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.

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.
