I studied tourism at UAB for one semester in 2022. I was supposed to stay for a full year, but my experience wasn't good and I left after the first semester. First of all, the housing area (Villa universitária) has mold. I was sick constantly during my exhange and went through multiple respiratory infections. I also had almost daily headaches and a very painful and strong cough. All of this eased after a couple weeks once I returned to my home country. Other exhange students told me about having the same issues and some noticed mold in their apartment walls. The housing area at times is very unsave and not controlled properly. The tourism faculty is located in the same building with the housing area reception. Therefore, it was very excluded from the rest of the campus. That's why, I didn't really get to use any of the services offered at the campus or get a real university experience. UAB also has a medical centre for "all students" according to their website, yet this doesn't include tourism students. I was turned away from the centre despite being extremely sick once they heard I study tourism at the school. The classes focused more on remembering as much information as you can to pass the exam, rather than focusing on understanding, critical thinking etc. The teachers were very often late to classes, they felt very unmotivated and I received very little feedback. In short, I do not recommend UAB. My experience was a loss of money and time.

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.

Do not recomend at all

Ive had so many problems with this school>tehy just care about money , after you get in barcelonna even information they just give it if you pay like 200 euros . than the classes> they say you have the option to study online or Presencial but the presential the techer is on her house so it is also online. you dont get any presencial class. aldo if the teacher is in the school she is the same person as the receptionist, the cordiator and director of the course. Classes were poorly organized, with minimal academic content*( if you had any kind of study about the theme you know they dont say anything) and a strong lack of structure. Many subjects were rushed or skipped, and there was little to no real academic guidance.

Excelent choise for beginning PM

I highly recommend the Master’s in Project Management course at ENEB for anyone considering a career in this field. The course is entirely online, making it convenient for those with busy schedules, and it includes valuable additional courses like Business English and specialized modules from Harvard Business School. The quality of the material is veri high and very comprehensive, providing a strong foundation for beginner project managers or those who are just starting to explore this field. It’s also well-suited for small business owners looking to develop strategic planning skills. Overall, a great choice for gaining practical, applicable knowledge in project management!
