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.

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.

Esic university Valencia is the worst university ever 😡

Worst university ever, I’m an İNTERNATİONAL student who came just for one semester for ERASMUS from another institution. It was the worst experience ever in my life, Esic university treated me so badly. The ERASMUS coordinator is really disrespectful and he didn’t even do a welcoming day for the new students. We didn’t get any training on how we can adapt to the university's system. First, they told us it is a hybrid system, which is not the case. This is the first lie from a higher education institution. They are really trying to push me to fail administration and also teachers I really feel it’s a religious problem about where I come from , plus I did all of my exams perfectly. Now I’m surprised that one teacher wants me to fail because I didn’t do one exercise ( just one in all semester lol) , my exam was perfect now she doesn’t want to show me my results and told me that she will make me fail because of one exercise. It is not fair and no one from the administration wants to help me as an Erasmus student, but I feel there is a difference between me and Spanish nationalities. Now I will take my legal right. They really discriminated against me in every way I’m really sad how I got used and treated this badly and also this issue has now become a personal issue, I really don’t recommend any İNTERNATİONAL students to join ESIC Valencia it’s the worst university on planet earth 😡

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.
