Students' Feedback

We are very proud of our students because they stand out for their talent and daily effort. Additionally, the training received at U-tad provides them with solid knowledge to develop their careers in the sector they are most passionate about.

• The lessons are personalized and the classes are very practical. After deciding to study a double degree at U-tad, I discovered that, with the facilities they provide, the amount of work and effort needed to complete the course is not double what is required for a single degree. Studying at U-tad is worth it. - Álvaro Martínez Parpolowicz, Freelance Designer
• My professors at U-tad have been attentive to my development at all times and have passed on to me the passion they feel for what they teach. The teaching is very practical and they provide personalized follow-up, which really differentiates U-tad from other centers. U-tad is a place to learn and have fun without an impossible workload. Thanks to U-tad, this summer I have been able to attend the IBM Summer School on Quantum Computing and I did great. - Alexis Gómez, Diseñador UX/UI Mútua Madrileña
• Studying for a master's degree in AI was something that I always wanted to do. If I hadn't studied at U-tad, with such a practical teaching methodology and very up-to-date content, I wouldn't have been so sure about pursuing this master's degree. - Mario Cavero, MSc AI and Robotics in University of Groningen (Netherlands)

International Mobility

At U-tad, we have an International Relations Department that coordinates and establishes agreements with universities all over the world, as well as with government agencies responsible for international inter-university cooperation. We have agreements with prestigious universities in five continents and we are working to expand the number of institutions with exchange agreements either within the Erasmus program or with bilateral exchange agreements.
