Esic university Valencia is the worst university ever 😡

Worst university ever, I’m an İNTERNATİONAL student who came just for one semester for ERASMUS from another institution. It was the worst experience ever in my life, Esic university treated me so badly. The ERASMUS coordinator is really disrespectful and he didn’t even do a welcoming day for the new students. We didn’t get any training on how we can adapt to the university's system. First, they told us it is a hybrid system, which is not the case. This is the first lie from a higher education institution. They are really trying to push me to fail administration and also teachers I really feel it’s a religious problem about where I come from , plus I did all of my exams perfectly. Now I’m surprised that one teacher wants me to fail because I didn’t do one exercise ( just one in all semester lol) , my exam was perfect now she doesn’t want to show me my results and told me that she will make me fail because of one exercise. It is not fair and no one from the administration wants to help me as an Erasmus student, but I feel there is a difference between me and Spanish nationalities. Now I will take my legal right. They really discriminated against me in every way I’m really sad how I got used and treated this badly and also this issue has now become a personal issue, I really don’t recommend any İNTERNATİONAL students to join ESIC Valencia it’s the worst university on planet earth 😡

Cultural diversity

It is a university that brings together many exchange students, you could say more than 700 people. Therefore there is the possibility of generating an approach with different cultures and meeting people. The problem is that the university does not understand that a foreign person does not know anything about the university and they should provide information regarding all types, explaining how the schedules are chosen, what the internship process is like, what apps or websites they use, etc. .

A good choice for hospitality

The college comes up in the top most colleges for hospitality related courses in the world. Les Roches has excellent links in the hospitality industry and has partnered with some major brands. The teachers are very friendly and professional at the same time. The college offers a limited range of courses for undergrads and post grads but the 5 year undergrad course is more beneficial to take up if you want to acquire proper knowledge and skills that are required for this industry. There are other courses also related to marketing that the college has recently introduced but these courses are not successful at all. All in all, its a good college to get into for an undergrad degree if you want to establish your career in the HOTEL industry.

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.

Masters international Management

I enjoyed this programe, academically is it similar to other programs in other cities but it offers so much more. The personal connection with professors, strong guidance for future career and the international network is what separates it from other options!
