Opinions of UDIMA
5/5 Ana Rey: “I started some business administration classes at the same time as I am studying law at another university. The teachers are very attentive to your progress, so that you understand things. They explain the activities to you, what is right and what is wrong, so that you have an idea on the day of the exam. So I only have good things to say about this university. I wish the prices were a little more affordable or that there were discounts once you pass the first registration period. Otherwise, it is perfect!”
5/5 Angie OA: “I only have good words for UDIMA. I have completed an online master's degree that has helped me get the job I wanted. The experience with UDIMA has been positive from start to finish, from registration to the final exams, going through all the activities and intermediate evaluations. It is a demanding university, if you think that by 'paying' they are going to give you the degree, it does not work like that and I am glad for it. You have to work, but their staff (academic, teaching, administrative...) will be very helpful and will be very attentive to you. They are also a 10 in organization, with the exams I had a health problem and I am very grateful to the staff in Madrid who moved to Barcelona for facilitating me at all times given my situation.”
5/5 Joaquin Guerrero Trujillo: “A wonderful experience. I have a degree in Psychology and I can only recommend Udima. An excellent university, very demanding but very close. I recommend it because they combine excellence with closeness. It is very good for people who combine studies and work. Now I am starting a Master's degree with them and I am very excited.”
