Quality is not always up to the teachers

The Universidad Complutense de Madrid is an old and big University. This comes with good and bad things. The best is that it has very very very good teachers and a good quality of studies with a huge variety of choices. But, at the same time the teachers, even though they are very good, they've been teaching for a very long time. Sometimes more than they should and they should have retired a long time ago. Also the bureaucracy is slow and exasperating. The university doesn't even respect their own deadlines and they tend to be a little botchy. In summary, a good university that needs to be renovated.

Education, Quality and opportunity

Overall I think IUGB is a good university, an international one, so we have the opportunity to get in touch with people coming from different countries. During my times there, I really enjoyed being involved in the community. They have many clubs and activities. I enjoyed the courses too. The teachers were good and patient with students, especially in my department(MET). They work hard now to get each students, a chance to be part of the professional life by finding internship or contrats etc. The fees and tuition are a little bit high but I think for the work quality they show it’s a good bet. I would recommend IUGB for sure.
