“Translation is key for learning languages”
Blanca D
Spain, Undergraduate
Translation/Interpretation, 2021
Overall
The Universitat Autònoma has an amazing international campus and a lot of cultural offers for students. The faculty of translation is a good place to study. Lots of native and dedicated teachers. You'll learn as many languages as you want but at the end, you'll understand the the importance of your own mother tongue.

Estoy muy satisfecha de haber realizado mis estudios en la UAB. La docencia siempre ha sido de bastante calidad. Valoro mucho que hayamos tenido la oportunidad de hacer clases y prácticas en el Hospital de la Vall d'Hebron. Más tarde, también he podido realizar prácticas en el Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.

Be careful with conversion of dollar. Things seem cheaper however they are not since the dollar is weaker.
