One of the best cities to study !!

The city is very small, because you can travel it in 50 minutes from end to end. The student environment is amazing. People from all over come to Salamanca to study and enjoy all the charm it offers with its cathedral, the Plaza Mayor, etc. Academically leaves much to be desired ...

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.

MBA Deusto

The DBS MBA is a master's degree for people who really want to learn a lot in a relatively short time, to do so they use a very dynamic and fast-paced work methodology, and in my opinion very useful and effective. In addition, teamwork is encouraged almost at all times, values that are highly valued if you come from more autonomous training such as engineering. The more purely theoretical training is also combined with real cases of entrepreneurship or experiences of successful people with high experience in the business world. Without a doubt, quality-price, I think it is the best master's degree you can opt for. Of course, being part of the Deusto Business School will greatly facilitate your access to the world of work, as well as a great networking network.
