ESCI-UPF

ESCI es una escuela de negocios seria, donde existe un contacto cercano entre el alumno y el profesor. Disponen de una alta variedad de clases donde en algunos casos, si es cierto que necesitan terminar de pulir el temario para que resulte mas práctico y aplicable al ámbito laboral. Pero, en la mayoría de casos, ofrecen un temario exigente, riguroso, y una alta calidad de docencia. La escuela es pequeña, por lo que no siempre da la sensación de estar viviendo la experiencia universitaria, pero a la vez esto resulta en un muy agradable ambiente entre los estudiantes. Los puntos fuertes en mi opinión se resumen en: el programa de idiomas, el programa de prácticas, las buenas intalaciones y la gran valoración que tiene el título de negocios y marketing en el mercado.
