University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

Nothing to show

ADE Course

Classes are good, I would try to make them more interactive and with more practices in class. Professors normally are good, in the english course I believe the english of the teachers could be better specially if the course is taught in that language. I also believe professors could interact more with their students and try to get in contact with students they see may be struggling. Otherwise the campus, although a bit small is fine, really nice, the library could be a little bigger.

A life-changing experience in Sports Industry

A perfect synergy between theoretical knowledge, practical application, and high-quality networking. After completing the Master in Sport Management at Johan Cruyff Institute, I took a major step forward in my career in the sports industry. What truly sets this institution apart is the closeness and support of the professors and staff, as well as the enriching experiences shared with fellow students. Without a doubt, it has been one of the most transformative decisions of my life.

Food Science and Technology always in demand worldwide

My experience studying at the University of La Laguna (Tenerife-Canary Islands, Spain) was very positive. I started studying a Diploma in Advanced Studies (Pre-Doctorate) in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, after my foreign Degree in Food Engineering was considered comparable in Spain to a Bachelor's Degree in Food Science and Technology (ULL). This area of ​​knowledge has allowed me to gain work experience, worldwide. I am currently in Canada, where this academic degree was also recognized as equivalent to a Bachelor in Science (Food) by the Province of Alberta (IQAS).

Supportive Environment, Faculty and Academics

C3S is a very good Institution for International Students. The lecturers here are so enthusiastic and truly passionate about their subjects; their knowledge and encouragement make me feel ready for my future career. At C3S, I really felt like I belonged; the diversity is incredible, and everyone is genuinely kind. Plus, the support systems are really strong. The courses are top-notch, and the learning experience really sets you up for great career opportunities.

PBL and Employability

A very proactive university, providing many employability days to improve your prospects. Always there to help if you have any queries or doubts, with specifically assigned tutors. As well as this, the hands on learning environment is unforgettable. Working with real businesses gives you great knowledge and understanding about the working world.
