Not a good university for NON-EUROPEANs

Firstly, if you are a non European, studying here is a waste. The degree is not valid anywhere, not even in spain. You won’t be able to extend your visa after the 10 months of your course. My honest review and my struggle is what am pouring down here. I passed out July 2022. They will promise you and send you a link mentioning that visa can be extended. But the answer is NO. Not with a degree here. Why ? When you go for visa renewal after the 10 months, you will be told ESEIs degree is not valid for the same. You will come back to the university , they will send you a link, that will options saying you can extend your visa if you have an internship or job after your course(which is obvious) , second apply for a job seeker visa, but you need to show a lot of amount for the 1 year stay in your bank account, third they will ask you to take another short course or language course to extend. What’s the point!! Also if you go ahead and decide to take one option. The university’s degree is not valid anywhere in Europe. If you are a non European and applying for a full time job anywhere in Europe the degree won’t be valid. Now they will say “UCAM” certified they are. Which you won’t get anytime soon, considering you urgently want to extend your visa before it expires. They won’t let you do more than one internship. If you get internship at another place and your classes are about to end, they won’t help you in any way. :) there are other universities in Spain which you can consider and Germany would be a good option. For anything that you want to know in detail, look for non Europeans who studied in ESEI and talk to them. Do not trust the Indian and other Non-European “working” at ESEI. They are the ones who lied to me to get in.
