Jose Manuel Real Gaset

The UPF Ciutadella Campus is of great architectural interest, the result of the adaptation of former army barracks—its spectacular library deserves a special mention—and features numerous works of art, both inside and out (the Tàpies Room). Guided tours called UPF Art Track used to be offered, but I don't know if they are still offered.

Jon Portella

I called, they told me the student services office was open in the afternoon, I went and there was nobody there. It turns out they've changed the hours and didn't tell us, and the person who was there in the morning didn't know either... Well, they should know, since they work there. And you've already wasted my time.

Júlia Ligero Muñoz

As student enrolled in a public degree in this university: great campus (library, rooms, wc, exterior spaces and cafeterias), good quality teachers, some academic areas best organized than others, It has lots of different extracurricular activities and good carieer and psychological support.

Lukas Andrés

The facilities are great, but considering it's a university and not a museum where you can just "look around," the training provided by some separatists leaves much to be desired. Both Spanish and English are essential for education. They want to take away our Spanish.

Cesare Ghionoiu Martínez

It's the best place to study in Barcelona! The Deposito de les Aigües (Water Depot) is simply wonderful. The best thing: long opening hours; I don't think any other library is so open. The worst thing: during exam periods, they only allow UPF students in.

Meritxell Lorente Vazquez

I study here, and it's a very new campus with good facilities and a place where you can find everything. I feel very comfortable studying here, and it's fairly well connected by public transport to get to anywhere in the Barcelona metropolitan area.

Pierangelo Frammartino

Student-friendly. High-quality teaching and high-quality services: library, study room, administration office, etc., all efficient and convenient.
The Economics department is among the best in Europe for both graduate and postgraduate programs.

antonio bahima anguera

A good university, with an excellent faculty for the most part, a good study environment, a large library, and plenty of space both in the classrooms and for relaxation. Clean and well-maintained restrooms. Excellent administrative support. …

Daniel Navarro Delgado

The university is generally good, but the Student Information Point is awful. You're supposed to be able to contact them with any questions related to administrative procedures, but for every question you ask, they tell you to do it online …

Gg No

Rubbish administration. How can the student portal get hacked in a university and nobody can log in to it? The worst thing is they won’t inform you anything related to it. You can only ask around oh what happened and the way they solve is …

Mercedes Escayola C

On June 18, 1990, the Catalan Parliament approved the creation of a new public university in Catalonia: Pompeu Fabra University, which is inspired by the principles of freedom, democracy, justice, equality, and pluralism. This university …

Gabriel Guillén

Pompeu Fabra University is a public university in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The Universitat Pompeu Fabra is a highly regarded Catalan and Spanish university, created by the Autonomous Government of Catalonia in 1990, named after the …

Carles AM

Pompeu Fabra University (UPF). It was inaugurated on 1990-08-16, it is located in Barcelona. In 2010 it had international recognition as a campus. The truth is that inside it is very nice if you like architecture without ornaments and …

SilviayGerard SyG

Excellent campus with all public transportation within walking distance. Excellent, highly professional professors dedicated to higher education. The classrooms are very well-appointed, and the architecture is very modern, with a …

Charlie 9P

Pompeu Fabra University is undoubtedly one of the best in Barcelona.
It's very well connected, as you can get there by bus (H16), the Tram (Wellington stop), and there are also bike-sharing stations and plenty of parking for …

Marvin Muehl

I study at the Barcelona School of Management (the business school of UPF) and it´s really fun and an enriching learning experience. The Ciutadella campus is also very nice. Only the cafeteria food sucks.

Alex

Pompeu Fabra University (UPF)'s Ciutadella Campus is simply inspiring! Located in a privileged setting, next to Ciutadella Park and close to the Arc de Triomf, it creates a unique academic environment. …

Marcos Daporta

Without a doubt, the best university in Spain. A large and beautiful library, only full on exam days, areas for group work, many computer labs, and thousands of books. And the cafeterias are quite good.

Joan Ignasi Cózar

This Campus has the most beautiful library of Barcelona (Diposit de les Aigües), good environment for deep study. The main disavdantage, it is usually full, you should go early to find a good place.

Adrià Baselga

Excellent facilities and connections by public transport or bicycle. The teaching staff could be improved; while they are very professional and specialists, they are not good communicators.

Thespains

I started my undergraduate studies here this year, and well, now I can give my opinion about it xd.
The facilities are 9/10. I'm not giving it the highest rating because I've only …

Eva Martinez

I liked being with my colleagues, put seriously, really bad experience with burocracy, first at erasmus university agreement, and then for only requesting for a single paper. …

Rosa María Rodriguez Cadena

It looks small from the outside, but inside it's huge ?, still a building to discover ?. I'm adding photos of the Fundació Tàpies, which is located at the same university ?. …

David Valles

Due to its location and transport links, it's one of the best campuses in Barcelona. A magnificent university and campus of national and international excellence.

Pablo Mora

Don't get me wrong, university is great. But every day it's a real struggle to fight the overwhelming urge to leave it all behind and go live in the countryside.

ulric gordenne

From an architectural standpoint, I think it's fantastic: they have managed to protect the historical heritage and create a very pleasant and functional space.

Noemi Merino

I like the rooms for talking softly and the ones for absolute silence to be large.
The water tank part is enormous and I love it so much that we got lost.

Tobias Hoogteijling

This university has the worst organisation possible. Furthermore, they are extremely unwelcoming to foreign students and fail to communicate in English.

XIRILI

A place that encourages study and research. The student experience is extremely attentive. They monitor students throughout their academic journey.

Joan Serra

They are great professionals. It's a shame they had to stop this year, 2020.
We will return to normal thanks to our attitude and our collaboration.

Anna mc

The university is very well located in a great area. It's not very big, but it's very welcoming. It has a campus library, cafeteria, green space...

Rafael Baena Peinado

My daughter has spent 5 years at this university. Everything is fine, but there may always be some errors, and solutions are being sought.

Carolina Garcia

I've only seen it from the outside, but it's a big, spacious place and the facilities seem to be good. I would recommend a visit.

Ana Grittini

Question: I'm thinking of doing a study exchange and I wanted to know if the classes are taught in Spanish or Catalan. Thank you.

Hudson Júnior

A very good experience! Excellent teachers/professionals for the DeleA2 exam at the Cervantes Institute. Great campus space.

Miquel Vázquez

The location is beautiful, very beautiful, a campus of excellence in every sense. Likewise, the Pompeu rhythm is overrated.

Ariadna Pla Gatell

The results speak for themselves. It's an honor to study at one of the best universities in the country, without a doubt. …

Pep Garces

One of the best Catalan and public universities in Europe.
Check the European University Ranking and you will see.

Enric Martin Drago

Building 20, 10/10 but building 40 has very cool classrooms and such but it doesn't have a bar in good condition.

DavidelFarandulas

Historic buildings with a modern renovation, with a large cafe where you can eat great food for little, a charm.

Agoney Baute

Probably the best campus at Pompeu Fabra University in terms of size, university life, and events held there.

Jorge R. Ortega P.

The University of Barcelona has a very pleasant campus, with everything necessary and suitable for teaching.

Julia Rubio

The faculty I love. Rigor, effort, perseverance, excellence...these are the words that best describe UPF.

joaquin De la cruz gonzalez

Uncultured scoundrels, I wouldn't let my children study there. They let their students incite hatred.

Humbert Costas

The library in the old water reservoir building is simply one of the best in Barcelona for studying.

Josan

Spectacular, from a former military barracks, they built one of the best universities in the world.

Enrique Gómez

A clean and responsible university, with excellent professors and facilities in perfect condition.

Rosa Forés

I was only there for a training session, I liked the little I saw, but I can't add anything else.

francisco tapia

A quiet, shady, and clean place; the transit line runs parallel to the side of the Barcelona Zoo.

Francisco Salatino

A spectacular place to visit, above all it has one of the most beautiful libraries in the world

Miguel Garcia Hernandez

Disgusting, lots of drinking in the streets and crime nearby, I don't recommend it for studying

Carlos Budí Zunica

Great University, they make excellent use of their resources to provide outstanding teaching

Javier Gómez Ruiz

University campus located next to a park and a beach where young people often go to unwind.
