Testimonials

My experience at EUM has been very good. The teachers are very approachable and provide great help: tutorials for revision, support information, etc. Being a tourism student I can say that the subjects are very well balanced and the languages are very dynamic and easy to learn.

Lucía Núñez

Student of 2nd Degree in Tourism

Know me

I was expecting a different, more difficult beginning, because I didn't know any classmates or teachers, but today I can say that I have a wonderful group of classmates, all of whom are great professionals. Of course, by professionals we have to mention the teachers, ALWAYS with a personalised treatment, who encourage the best of you and help you at all times with any difficulties. Without a doubt, if I could explain to the me of 4 years ago, I wouldn't have had any doubts about choosing EUM. I don't like goodbyes at all and I know it will be difficult to say goodbye to this beautiful stage.

My experience at EUM has been very positive. From the first minute you enter the course, you start to learn essential concepts and knowledge to be able to know more about the tourism sector in depth. The University itself offers a series of services, from my point of view exceptional, which allows the student to adapt to the change of starting a university degree and at the same time to help them in many aspects.

The location is great, the building is clean, new and the design overall is very nice! The professors, very professional, were open to help even if the language barrier was present, they tried to include everyone in the activities and the courses were interesting. If someone were to ask me if I recommend this university I would totally tell them YES! I'd like to thank everyone from EUM for making me feel included.

I can summarise my 4 years studying the Degree in Tourism at EUM as a progressive learning process where I have created a great network of contacts. From the beginning you move in a professional environment and the methodology of the school is very good. The degree provides a wide range of internships with an excellent follow-up by the coordinators. Regardless of the situation, the teachers have always adapted quickly, providing both online and face-to-face tutorials. Excellent facilities, including good wifi connection, power sockets, fully equipped cafeteria and clean terrace with good views.

Know me

In the first year of my degree I started an internship and that helped me when I finished my degree. Thanks to the internship experience, I started working with a fixed-term contract. The university always helped me, they sent me notes from both classmates and professors, and for the Final Degree Project, since I was unable to attend the face-to-face tutorials, they supported me and helped me to get through it without problems.
