“nada nuevo respecto al grado”

Nina D

Spain, Graduate
, 2021

Overall

Buenos profesores y sobre todo buenos centros para poder realizar las practicas, pero respeto al material, según donde te hayas sacado el título de grado, el master en si, igual que en otras universidades, no aporta mucha novedad. No hay libros, solo recomendaciones y artículos de investigación.

Pros

Tutores, buen trato

Cons

el material

Course recommendations

Most courses are taught in Catalan, however, one is able to ask the teacher to speak in Castellano since all professors are bilingual in both Spanish and Catalan.
