Personal comments
Al principle is a little dificil to relate and communicate with persons that live in a different culture to yours, in my case the Spain culture, a new social environment and a new academin system. But after some time I began to understand the new "norms" of contact and to value a great deal more the new conceptions that this new culture can contribute to my life and also in professional career.

Course recommendations
You should definitely know some Spanish before you go, because almost all of the classes are given in Spanish only.

Personal comments
Make sure you settle all the organizational matters (i.e. evaluation of what you do in Valencia at your home university) before you go. It will be hard to explain to the Spanish profs what kind of certificates you need back home, so talk to them as soon as possible about that.

“Preparación adecuada”

Overall
Te preparan para poder adquirir conocimientos rápidamente y poder adaptarte a cualquier tipo de trabajo. Conocimientos técnicos y habilidades trasversales son los pilares en los que descansan las clases diarias.

Personal comments
Don't get depressed if you don't understand everything in your first couple of classes or when talking to the locals; Spanish people tend to talk very fast. After a couple of weeks you will get along without a problem, if you make sure that you stay in contact with the Spanish. (Therefore, moving into shared housing with students who speak your first language, would not be a good idea!)
