The UGR (Universidad de Granada)is a very international university. There are about 1500 Erasmus students a year and many more internationals especially from Southamerica and the north of Africa. The academic standards are quite good compared to other spanish universities, but the way of teaching is more similar to the german school than to the german university system.

I can definitly recommand Granada to everyone who wants to go to Spain and is interested in spanish culture. It's such a vivid city full of (international) students and old historical landmarks. If you go there, don't be afraid of not finding a place to stay, because the streets are full of announcements of people who search for flat mates. Don't try to apply for room in a "residencia"! That's quite expensive and more a hotel than a hall of residence. My travel tip is Marocco as it is quite near and you can get a good idea of the oriental / african way of life, especially in Marrakech.

“Great University in Granada”
Virginia C
Austria, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2018
Overall
En la Universidad de Granada dispondrás de acceso a múltiples cursos, impartidos por numerosos profesores preparados para la materia, aunque algunos más profesionales que otros y con experiencia en el exterior de la educación docente. Granada es un buen lugar para el típico estudiante universitario que busca una buena educación sin dejar de lado el mundo de la noche, con sus pequeñas calles llenas de pubs en Pedro Antonio. A la hora de encontrar lugares que faciliten el estudio habrá muchas facilidades, ya que se dispone de múltiples bibliotecas y aularios, que en épocas de exámenes estarán abiertas las 24 horas.

If you like kite surfing, then Tarifa is the Mekka of Andalucia for you, it is some 2,5 hours from Granada and the atmosphere is great and the winds always blow there.
Granada is definitely worth visiting, it has an amazing vibe and the city is very beautiful and lively. Moreover the Universidad de Granada is very welcoming to the international students and has a great offer of courses and other academic events and conferences. Professors are also very open to discussion and always there if you need an advise. I conducted investigation for my thesis here and I really benefited from a great library the University had and also advices of the professors.

Treat the foreign students better in the student offices.. I was treated very well at all times but most people complained about being treated bad.. That´s all I can think of right now.

Make sure you get the chance to travel to Sevilla, Cordoba, Cadiz in the south and also see other places along the way, like Ronda, Tariffa, Cabo de Gata etc. Also while travelling don´t have to many expectations on housing. I preferred travelling quite economically in order not to spend to much money. Some living conditions can be great while others not so much. Just enjoy the trips without being to fuzzed about places you stay at. Also try to stay away from people from you home country and try to meet and hang out with spanish people instead. They will teach you a lot and also show you the best things to see.

“Unrepeatable experience in Granada”
Carolina S
Spain, Undergraduate
Biotechnology, 2019
Overall
Granada is one of the best cities for students in Andalusia. There you can find a lot of culture, history, party and, above all, students. If you're looking for a little city where develop your academic formation at the same time that you enjoy a dynamic and multicultural lifestyle, this is your place.
As for the degree, Biotechnology is a new degree in the university of Granada. That's the reason why sometimes there is a lack of organization regarding some contents of some subjects, administrative processing, ... In spite of that, it remains a level of quality and high level.
