“Learning Biotechnology in Madrid”

Ignacio S

Espagne, Master
, 2023

Évaluation globale

Since September 2018 I have been studying Biotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. During these years I have learned from many disciplines related to science. I have had subjects such as immunology, cell and tissue biology, genetic engineering, molecular genetics, microbiology, virology.... The ones that most caught my attention were all those that led to the study at the molecular level as it is what I am most passionate about. These years of study have shown me what I am capable of and have awakened in me a great interest in research.

Points forts

The high level teacher´s demand makes you learn a lot

Si j'avais su

It's better to start in September since new people arrive. In february there are already groups made up.

Logement

Type de logement: shared flat

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: shared house

Pourquoi?

Because you live with different people together in one house. It's social but still smaller than a residency (expensive, rules)

Commentaire personnel

The housing done by the university was really bad. I ended up in a house 40 minuts from the campus. I didn't sign any contract, hired two weeks and started looking on my own.

Commentaire personnel

They don't care at all about finding you an accomodation. They don't even asnwer your question about courses or staying through e-mail. Anyway, the situation is not so bad once you are there (they have a good organisation, after all).
