Classes & academics at UPC

In their own words.

If you want to choose a campus where you can really be part of the community, I wouldn’t recommend San Isidro because it’s quite small. However, in my opinion, it’s the best one because it’s in the city center. You have everything close by, and wherever you go, you don’t feel unsafe..

Campus very nice. Not a lot of exchange students but still a bit. Registration very easy. The location is far from the neighborhood where you live but it’s the same for all exchange students (all university are far)

Registration has been a nightmare — the platforms didn’t work, and the people who were supposed to help with the process didn’t respond. In my opinion, this was the only negative thing about this university. But everything else, like the professors, was fantastic.

    The campus was great, but to register to the class it was little bit hard. You have to ask again and again.

  • LouennSpring 2025★ 7.0

    Try to attend your classes on Monday and Tuesday, as well as the online classes, and enjoy!

    The campus is old and the organisation is chaotic, but the exams are easy
