Universidad con un campus universitario amplio, seguro y muy bien preparado, dotado de todo tipo de servicios y comodidades, y que cuenta con una bolsa interna de prácticas remuneradas y empleo.
En cuanto a la Escuela Politécnica, situada dentro del campus, cuenta con diversas ofertas de grados y masters especializados en diversas ramas de la ingeniería así como en arquitectura.
Buena experiencia en general, y en cuanto a mi carrera se refiere, ingeniería civil, alto nivel de exigencia y disciplina, que requiere de un gran esfuerzo y dedicación.

I wished that I would have known more about Alicante. I was the first person from my uni there and I did not know what to expect. I would have like to known it was really cheap to live in apartments.

Alicante is a great place and it is close to Madrid and Barcelona. Be sure to save money and meet people, so that you can visit these cities with them to lower the cost and have fun.

I wish I had known not to bring as much stuff, because it is easy to accumulate more stuff which makes packing to return home very difficult.

Studying abroad has been the best experience of my life and I would recommend this program to anybody that would like to improve their Spanish and be fully immersed in Spanish culture. However, it is not all fun and games and students need to expect to work hard. The harder you work to meet new people and experience the culture the more rewarding your experience will be. Therefore, the best advice I can give is to be enthusiastic to try new things and take risks. You have to adjust to living in a new country, because the country is not going to adjust to you.

“Up to date online”
Lily P
Spain, Graduate
Translation/Interpretation, 2019
Overall
The course was nearly fully online before COVID thus had not many issues adapting.
It's divided into different modules that you course one after another, the only downside is that the rythms of these modules may vary which can be a bit confusing. Apart from that, great staff, both young and senior and a vast amount of interesting reading material a part from the classwork; some of which is group work ( during the first modules) and then to be completed by each student independently.

I wish I had known...
It is the third biggest ERASMUS city in Spain (according to my spanish friends) therefore there is an immense number of international students, for those wanting to really explore the spanish culture it is most likely you will explore more other cultures.

Sign up for the Erasmus Spanish course for only 30EU take both courses with local students and international students. Take advantage of sports activities as I did by taking Judo, Water sports(surf,wind surf, rowing, kayaking etc), Beach Volleyball and lots of travelling. If you are looking for accomodation this is the best website to find flats in alicante by the beach or near the centre (I reccomend living near plaza de los luceros or plaza de toros) https://aplicacionesua.cpd.ua.es/anuncios/default.asp?idioma=es Finally enjoy the great weather(around 300 sunny days per year), beach and cultural interaction of such an amazing city.
