Hear it from them
“Studying ADE at UIC Barcelona is a decision I will never regret. Firstly, due to the high academic level. The lecturers are really on top of their material and are often professionals in the sector themselves, so they offer us first-hand experience. Secondly, the possibility of taking the degree in English allows you to get to know a lot of international students and thereby open up your mindset, and also helps you improve your skills in that language. Finally, the lecturers are much more than just that, they really care about students and want us to grow both at a human level, as well as intellectually, so that we can become professionals at the service of society. Although I had a lot of doubts when trying to choose [a university], now I wouldn’t change UIC Barcelona for anything in the world ”
