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.

Well invested money

A master of immersive and comprehensive quality focused on people with little or no design knowledge. I had an excellent experience, the only thing that perhaps did not convince me was that the final work is done as a group.

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.

Flexible Education

Flexible as in something that has pros as well as cons. ESMUC is a college with a nice name and prestige in Spain, I would say many if not all of the graduates I've met from the school are highly prepared. The university offers a good ambience for developing your skills with access to its facilities including the recordng studio and rehearsal rooms. Also being a student instantly gices you discounts and access to cultural events like the Auditori Concerts, which is highly appreciated. The quality of your education will depend on the major or course itself, I assisted to the unofficial master degree for film and media scoring. I was particularly thankful because I was able to assist despite not having an official diploma. The master itself is relatively new to the school so there are many flaws that could be improved, including poor planning and organization between courses. They were super valuable classes with highly prepared professor with whom I learned a lot, in contrast, some of them were indifferent to me. The highlight of the program I assisted to was the chance to record with a live orchestra, which was a superb opportunity and expereince. Considering the master degree price. In conclusion, you should consider ESMUC regarding your program choice. I would say overall you'll get good quality education, but a lot of the growth will come of how you manage to make the best out of it.

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!
