Patricia Manresa
Studying Business Administration and Management at UIC Barcelona is much more than just earning a university degree. It’s an experience that has shaped me as a person. The place where I've developed my communication and public speaking skills as a member of the debate team. The opportunity to live in another country. To learn from highly qualified professors and interact with people from all over the world.
Patricia Pacheco
UIC Barcelona's international approach, the chance to study the degree in English, has allowed me to achieve a higher level of education. This vision is also encouraged by exchanges with universities around the world, in my case it was an incredible semester in Shanghai.
