Languages
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
Although language of instruction at graduate level is English, a basic knowledge of Spanish and/or Catalan is useful as administrative matters are usually dealt with in those languages. Furthermore, most positions as teaching assistants require the ability to lecture in Spanish.

It will be one of the greatest things you experiance if you open yourself up to interacting with the locals. Don´t be afraid to go out and meet new people. If you are open people will be open to you. I also did not encounter any anti-american sentiments as many people claim to have encountered.

“Internacional, pero demasiado abstracta y poco aplicada”
Júlia C
Spain,
Economics, 2023
Overall
El campus está bien, buenas instalaciones y actividades extracurriculares para conocer a otros estudiantes. La carrera de Economía me parece interesante, no obstante me ha parecido que tiene un enfoque demasiado teórico (aunque es una opnión común con otros grados y universidades también). Es por eso que estoy interesada en hacer prácticas y de verdad empezar a aplicar mis conocimientos y aprender nuevos. Los profesores en general son buenos profesionales, aunque siento que no hay mucha atención personalizada. Pero es cierto que al final es una universidad pública con muchos estudiantes.
