Its ok

The overall experience was ok. Yet I dont feel that it was worth 10k€ a year for what I received. Starting from repetitive classes in each year but with a different name until not having bathrooms for almost 6 months. The quality of the majority of classes was 2/5. The content of the classes was not deep enough to teach you about tools, appliances, ways of solving, what should be taken into consideration. On my 2 last years. I took the exact same class of public relations but named differently. Not even the professor knew what to say any more. I didn’t saw not event one tool that is used in public relations. We analyzed just one case of public relations in the whole semester. And it was a mention not event a full analysis. I do not recommend GBSB. The internships they say the help you with on their webpage its a lie. They do not help you in any way to connect you with no company. They are not event informed in how to help you with the visa.

University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

Universidad y ciudad muy recomendables

He pasado cuatro años muy intensos en Valladolid, y la verdad es que no puedo poner muchas pegas al respecto. Al menos en el Grado en Periodismo, que es lo que he estudiado. El nivel de las materias es bueno; en general, el profesorado me ha transmitido mucho y el trato ha sido cordial; los servicios de la Universidad propician que puedas practicar un montón de deportes y también formar parte de un coro, entre otras actividades, ... Y para más inri, la ciudad tiene un mezcla de alegría y tranquilidad que hace de ella un magnífico para vivir. Mezcla un ambiente universitario y festivo con una paz necesaria en algunos momentos. Hace unos meses que he acabado la carrera, los mismo que llevo echando de menos mi estancia allí.

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.

Modern and with great technical means

The UEMC is a University with modern facilities and with very good technical resources. The small number of students in each class means that the subjects can be better taught and the learning is properly taken advantage of. The University has been making a firm commitment for the promotion of the employment of its students for a long time, thanks to the measures that are part of the Strategic Plan of Employability and the possibility of practicing from the first courses, with the advice of attentive academic tutors to the needs of each student. In addition, it has an online training program that also allows professionals to update their knowledge through a modality that has advantages such as flexibility, ease of connection or reconciliation with other activities. There are always areas in which you can improve but, in general, the UEMC is an excellent University in which to study degrees, double degrees, own degrees or master's degrees.
