“Demanding Univerisity”
Júlia S
Spain, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2019
Overall
The Universitat Pompeu Fabra is a very demanding university. Especially during the first 2-3 years, where you have to take the compulsory courses, the level is very high. I could feel students are very well-prepared and consequently there is high competition in the class. However, this makes you be more prepared, providing with great job opportunities after graduation.
I feel the majority of the teachers were highly qualified researches, but some lacked teaching skills.
Finally, although the campus is small it has everything necessary (bar, stationery shop, copy center...) and what I liked the most, it is located in the city center!

Course recommendations
Technical translation courses- economics and legal- were very interesting. As well as History of translation.
Classes for ONLY Erasmus students very quite boring. Class of "analisis del discurso espanol", or something like that, was awfully boring. All translation classes interested me the most.

Personal comments
I guess I was a particular case. Being a student in translation, I already had more knowledge in languages than others ERASMUS students who were on a language programme and not translation. Some courses were more adapted to them.
Translation courses were fairly good. At that time the 4-year level was not created yet, since the translation section was only 3 years old. I would have like to study at an advanced level.

Personal comments
Bars: Oveja negra-the students pup near the Ramblas. Most of the bars in "Gracia" the best part of the town to celebrate. Events: In the last weeks of September there is the traditional Barcelona-Party. With many groups and other actors. All gratis.
The Student Party of the University Autonoma outside from Barcelona. Its the greatest party for students, wich I ever seen.
