Personal comments

The University has a very good atmosphere, the site i studied at was on the Rambla. The teachers are very explanitory, and they give you a placement test beforehand. The one things that i feel are lacking in this U. are: the computers suck, they don´t have any art programs or athletic programs, only provide you with information on alternative options around the city.

There are some programms from the University, wich help you to find a accomodation. Its no problem to get some. The habitations for students are o.k. . But i think its better to search your accomodation private, because you have to live with Spain people to learn the language.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

I preferred to integrate myself with other spanish people instead of the other erasmus students. in spain people tend to stay closer to home for university, and for that reason a lot of university accomodation is primarily for those from abroad.

REVIEWS BY INTERNS AT Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Buena experiencia

Mi función consistía en: - Elaboración de campañas de marketing digital (GoogleAds, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, LinkedIn Ads). - Seguimiento de campañas, reporting y analíticas semanales y mensuales (Google Analytics, ActiveCampaign, etc).

Ambiente familiar

Empresa multinacional pero con un ambiente muy familiar y cercano entre compañeros de trabajo. Desde el primer día te dan mucha autonomía, flexibilidad y mucho soporte en cualquier duda que se pueda presentar. Hay bastante carga de trabajo, pero al poder gestionártelo a tu manera, resulta retador y muy dinámico. Mucho trabajo en equipo e interacción no solo con tu equipo de trabajo sino con toda la oficina.

Audit Junior

This internship allowed me to look into different firm sections, bringing me a solid fundamentals to start developing my career.

few things to do

I was put in every branch, however there were not many tasks for me to fulfill. It was monotonous and not really challenging.
