High standards, well-prepared for future studies
Pompeu Fabra University is well-known in Spain for its high standards and demanding studies. Working in trimesters instead of semesters, academic years at Pompeu Fabra are divided into three periods: from the end of September until Christmas, from January until March, and from March until June. To pass the courses within the double degree on translation studies and applied linguistics you will not need long study hours. However, if your goal is to obtain good results and excellent marks, you will need to do much more work and sometimes perhaps even extra assignments. To manage all the stress derived from the trimester preiod distribution, you will need to learn to manage your time wisely and to organise yourself well. It is therefore a good university that prepares you to master stressful times. I liked this "endurance preparation" aspect during my studies but I found it unfair that sometimes students can pass subjects so easily with so little effort that, to me, the value of the studies sort of diminishes.
The place to get experience
In Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), they like to make sure people come out confident and with hands-on experience. During my studies, I have experienced all sorts of courses that tend to focus on real life applications. What I mean with this is that, unlike other universities I've heard of or even experienced, UPF is more concerned with projects, internships and teamwork than it is with exams (even though there are still written exams for every course). Most of the time, you will find courses with both a final project AND a written exam. What this means is that you will spend most of your time in the library or in the lab trying to reach project deadlines on top of then having to endure an exam period . Also, there are 3 exam periods, not just 2, since the university works in trimesters. This can really take a toll on you if you are not prepared because there is little to no break (at least in the Biomedical Engineering Degree), but on the other hand it has really helped me when I eventually started working in the lab for my internships. I could feel I had more knowledge than most others, so even though the path was rough, the final destination is worth it.
Prestige in Spain
The best thing about the university is the quality of its professors, in addition to the great career possibilities that the university gives you when you go out into the world of work. It is one of the most prestigious universities in Spain in social science
