Testimonials
Studying Business Administration and Management at UIC Barcelona is much more than just earning a university degree. It’s an experience that has shaped me as a person. The place where I've developed my communication and public speaking skills as a member of the debate team. The opportunity to live in another country. To learn from highly qualified professors and interact with people from all over the world.
Thanks to UIC Barcelona, I’ve been able to meet and share my undergraduate years with people from all over the world. Having the chance to go to Turin opened the doors to the world of engineering, Italian culture and experiences that will stay with me forever. Also, thanks to the teaching staff’s accessibility, I found the close relationship I needed to complete my studies.
