Student-Staff relationship

As far as universities go I think EU business school comes first in terms of student-staff relationship. Every member of the staff I have encountered has been more than helpful. What i think should improve as even tho its not connected to my previous point is I think the school should have more leniency towards tuition payment specially to international students because we are here despite the challenges of having to find willing banks to exchange local currencies to Euros.

The teachers, the encouragement they give you,

I chose this university because some friends who had studied there had told me it was a great experience, and it's true. It has excellent facilities and a faculty that always encourages you to do your best. They motivate you a lot and guide you in a way I hadn't seen before. They are very approachable professors and are attentive to how they can optimize your studies. I made good friends there, I have good memories of that experience, and I might even pursue some further studies because it left a very positive impression on me.

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.

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. (Note: Ismael is a professor at the European University Miguel de Cervantes)

The cultural mix and the great atmosphere.

I loved being at Schiller in Heidelberg. The setting and the city were very serene and the exposure to all those students and teachers from such different and diverse backgrounds was a great learning experience. Additionally, the ease of accessing the Schiller campuses in the other countries was a great additional bonus to studying at Schiller. I would most definitely recommend Schiller to other students who are looking for a very culturally fulfilling experience.
