Good education on many business areas
The degree brings to the student acknowledge about different areas inside of the business management area, but I think that many of them could be more updated to incorporate most of the technology that exists to incorporate in our education and make it more applicable to reality.
my experience at my expiremental,young university
At the University of Cadiz (UCA) we learn from the first year to introduce ourselves into the reality of the labour market. The main focus is on new technologies as an educational support for all new marketing trends. The fundamental didactics is, from a practical point of view, to be prepared for the demands of the new market economy and to attend to the diverse and complex realities of today. This university, as its campus is located in a city, Jerez, where there is a multitude of companies of different types, both wine, tourism, food, we are in contact with all of them, which gives us a wide practical experience. As it is a new university in Spain and very much in demand, we have talks and conferences from both Spanish and European teachers, as well as people dedicated to the business world who tell us about their experience. They also offer us the opportunity to spend a year abroad as an Erasmus student, I specifically spent the 21/22 academic year in Prague, which gave me another way of learning. Above all, I would like to highlight the versatility and adaptation to the new times of our university, as befits a young and recent entity.
Universidad de Cádiz
It is probably not the best university in the country, but it has advantages such as its size: the classes are not overbooked and are dynamic, and it is easier to interact with professors since there are not that many people.
