Opinions of the Francisco de Vitoria University
5/5 Andres Besada: “I definitely didn’t make a mistake in choosing this university! They focus a lot on the person, their personal situations, they give you any facility and flexibility you need, for example, when it comes to working or complementing it with any other activity. An incredible campus, food trucks, sports center, soccer fields, cafeterias, Telepizza, Rodilla, etc. Great to enjoy with your classmates!”
5/5 Angel Garcia Rodriguez: “I was very pleasantly surprised by the Campus concept, which is aimed at integrating teaching with all kinds of activities. Study spaces, classes, a range of courses with eminently practical content and aimed at preparing future graduates for their integration into the world of work. Personalised treatment and guidance for new students. Prioritisation of values. The first impression has been absolutely favourable and I would like my children to value it and to be able to consider the option of pursuing their university studies here. Thanks to Marta and Sofia for their professionalism and treatment. I would like to have professionals like them, in love with their work, on my team.”
5/5 Laura Gomez: “I completed my Secondary School Teacher Master’s in the 2018/2019 academic year, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. The Master’s is well organized in terms of schedules, communications, and the teaching staff is unbeatable, as they are dedicated to helping you not only to get the most out of the course, but also to prepare you for the profession with all kinds of resources and materials. The class schedule also allows you to reconcile it with another work activity or personal life. I am considering taking another Master’s in the medium term and I am very clear that I want it to be at the UFV, as they transmit their vocation and passion for teaching like no one else.”
