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.

Great opportunities

BSM gives you the opportunity to acquire much knowledge that serves you both professionally and personally. In addition, it gives you the possibility of entering new jobs in higher positions or even changing work areas. For how it makes you grow, for what you learn and for the contacts you reach, I totally recommend it.

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.

It's been a good year!

I believe that this is an extremely global school, and it has been a tremendous experience interacting with a bunch of people from different nationalities. It has been an absolute pleasure to learn from some great names in the field. My only complaint would be in regard to the pressure the course invariably puts on the students. Even though Barcelona is a great city, it gets difficult when you are forced to the library 7 days a week. A work in progress would be my view on the programme!

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.
