Not bad

I have completed my Marketing Degree at ESERP x Staffordshire program. It was useful, close to reality. The majority of professors were professional, except one who was constantly late for classes like 1 hour. After I complained about it, the situation got better, although my anonymity was not kept as it was promised, so do not believe that you can make anonymous complains - everything will be revealed.

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.

Opinion UPC (FNB)

As a student of the UPC, it must be said that at the level of studies and teaching staff, both the one I have had as well as friends and acquaintances, is excellent. However, as far as facilities are concerned, it leaves much to be desired, and given the university's debt, small (and historical) faculties, such as the nautical one, are negatively affected by each management.

Passionate Mentors as Professors

My journey at Pompeu Fabra has been nothing short of inspiring. The university's emphasis on research and real-world application ignited a fire within me to explore my field in depth. My professors were more than just educators; they were passionate mentors who challenged me to think critically and independently. The vibrant energy of Barcelona, combined with the university's international focus, created an environment where I felt both stimulated and supported. UPF has equipped me with a robust skill set and a global perspective, preparing me to make a meaningful impact on the world.

The attitude and the atmosphere

The classes are so intresting I love how they they teach you about psychology and business strategy, I really like how the teachers are real professionals in terms of marketing , buisness... overall I really enjoy it.
