“Excelente formación”

Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology, 2004
OverallTuve la oportunidad de hacer prácticas profesionales desde el segundo curso de carrera. El programa de licenciatura fue muy duro pero al salir al mercado laboral se ve la preparación y la capacidad de ejercer profesionalmente. La gran cantidad de departamentos y asignaturas optativas permite probar diferentes áreas de intervención, algo imprescindible en psicología, ya que es un mundo de posibilidades muy abierto.

Course recommendations
Unless you can work it out to stay the entire academic year, it's nearly impossible to take classes with the Spanish students in the Complutense. I was happy with my courses in the Reunidas (a group of many American Universities within the Complutense) but it would have been nice to have an even more authentic experience.

More tests and quizzes throughout. Spaniards take one midterm and one final- that determines your whole grade! It's great for a while, but come finals you feel the pressure.

I was very fortunate as I have a spanish friend who lives and studies in Madrid who introduced me to a lot of spanish people so I as forced to speak spanish, the best way to learn! I noticed that spanish people do not speak english so you are really forced to speak spanish.

Do not settle; if the program or university does not have the courses that you feel would serve you best, keep researching.

I would suggest that local students take more time to welcome the international students as well as the international students not to be so "cliquish".

At first, when I arrived in Madrid I felt a little not at ease when talking to native speakers. I even did not have the courage to talk only when it was compulsory. After the second day I started to feel confident and talk fluently and without any fear..the most helpful experience in learning a foreign language is to live among her native speakers for a while, to interact as much as possible and not to be afraid of making mistakes when you talk. Who does not make mistakes does not learn :)
