“La enseñanza en España es mas completa”

Business Studies, 2013
Overall
Las universidades de Reino Unido, aunque tienen mucha fama internacional, en general desarrollan menos competencias en los estudiantes que las universidades españolas. El nivel de enseñanza es más bajo, algunas asignaturas se quedan en un nivel introductorio y a favor de otras que se dan más en profundidad.
