University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

One of the best cities to study !!

The city is very small, because you can travel it in 50 minutes from end to end. The student environment is amazing. People from all over come to Salamanca to study and enjoy all the charm it offers with its cathedral, the Plaza Mayor, etc. Academically leaves much to be desired ...
