Course recommendations

Try and meet the lecturers and ask them about the modules they will cover. In my case I chose courses in international/ European law because I thought they would be more useful, however it is also good to do at least two courses which will give you an insight into the laws of your host country.

Comencé con 43 años Ingeniería de Organización Industrial y tres años después en la recta final, he visto cumplidos mis objetivos, los cuales, me han permitido desarrollar mi trabajo y disfrutar con mi pasión los vehículos eléctricos

Soy funcionario en el sector del transporte, con nuevas incorporaciones de vehículos eléctricos, abriendo un nuevo mundo de posibilidades en la movilidad urbana.

La universidad al ser prácticas extracurriculares aportaría documentación necesaria para llevar a cabo el proyecto.

Final comments

Don't use trains in Spain, buses are much faster! If prefer fresh milk for your tea rather than UHT, you can buy it in the supermarket chain Mercadona.
