“Mi experiencia en la UAB”
María d
Spain, Undergraduate
Communication and Information Sciences, 1993
Overall
Cuando yo estudié, había la opción de licenciarte primero Periodismo y después convalidar 3 años de la carrera para acabar con una segunda licenciatura, "Publicidad y Relaciones Públicas". Eso es lo que hice. Aunque el centro ofrecía prácticas en España y posibilidades de colaboración en otros paises, yo me las busqué personalmente. Mi experiencia en este sentido fue en España, en "Ràdio Avui" (Cadena 13) y "Ràdio Estel". Después me he dedicado siempre a la Comunicación Integral (Prensa, RR.PP. y Publicidad), por lo que actualmente soy comunicadora.

Pros

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The UAB is a very big university that takes on a lot of Erasmus students, but that could take better care of them. I had a wonderful time in Barcelona and learnt a lot at university but this requires effort, nothing will be served to you for free. If you are not afraid to ask questions and are willing to be flexible, then you will learn and have a good time.

Course recommendations
Make sure you choose Spanish or English modules, or you might have to take a course in catalan, which of course is not a problem if you speak the language.

Personal comments
In la autonoma catalan is the official language, even though most of my classes were in espanol. But all advertisments and papers from the bourd are in catalan so that factor was sometimes a little hard.
