Description

The University of Cádiz, known in Spanish as Universidad de Cádiz and often referred to as UCA, is a public university located in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, in southern Spain.

Although officially established in 1979, the university can trace its origins back to the 15th century and the founding of the Colegio de Pilotos de los Mares de Levante y Poniente. Its medical faculty, meanwhile, has its origins in the Royal Naval College of Surgery, founded in 1748.

UCA is comprised of four campuses. The main Cádiz campus is located in the old city, alongside the Caleta beach and Genovese Park and is arranged in a series of picturesque narrow streets. This campus houses departments covering socio-humanistic and health studies. It also includes the college of engineering, the computer studies department and central administration services.

The Puerto Real campus houses the university’s science and technology centres, including the school of marine, nautical and radioelectronic engineering; faculty of education sciences; and faculty of marine and environmental sciences.

The Jerez campus is primarily dedicated to social and legal studies and also has a hall for nursing studies. Two schools, the faculty of law and faculty of social and legal sciences, are based here, along with the headquarters of the new University Institute for Research in Sustainable Social Development (known as INDESS).

Finally, there is the Bay of Algeciras Campus, which faces the Strait of Gibraltar. Among the courses taught here are nursing, business administration and management, law, labour relations and human resources, along with degrees in early childhood education and primary education.

Administratively: it is chaos, I was 5 years and each worse. To give an example (one of many), I was given an international stay scholarship the day before the summer vacation, so in September when I had to start the stay, there was nothing planned by the university (documentation without send, nothing …). As the months passed, they still did not hand in the documentation because the international relations office said that it was the responsibility of the faculty professors and vice versa. Therefore, the scholarship today still does not succeed. To take another example, to register for the master's degree, I asked for the English degree, you could start the master's degree in September and present the certificate in December, which would not be a problem with enrollment three months later (innocent …). The date and deadlines of the day of the exam arrive (exam that the UCA PUSO EXCLUSIVE FOR THESE STUDENTS) overlap. Administrative follón, with Christmas in between, contacts with a thousand people, nobody solves anything until one day, someone does something. To give a last example, the curricular practices of master's and career: at the beginning of the course in the planning they said that you could do them during the master and one year later until December. At the middle of the course the regulations change and you are obliged to do them in SUMMER (time that at least I used to work and earn money to live the following year). Also do not move a finger to open agreements with companies. They give you the two typical ones that the faculty already has, period. And if you want to open a new agreement, get the beans. As for learning, the UCA is very good at theoretical knowledge. In the Faculty of Marine Sciences there are excellent teachers and experts in many environmental issues. And as everywhere, bad teachers. The problem is that the theory you learn is not compensated by practices. They sell you that there is no money (not even for laboratory latex gloves! USE A GLOVES FOR A COUPLE !! they told us). We stepped on 1 boat in 4 years of racing, we stepped on the beach 3 times … and 4 counted excursions. I've been to other universities and I can compare … As for the master of aquaculture and fishing, you pay € 2000 and when you finish 1) you can not work in an aquaculture plant because you do not have the title of handling animals (about € 600) and 2) you can not board because you do not have the training basic maritime (title with 2 years of waiting list if you want it for free and if not, you pay € 800). Nevertheless, I reiterate the aforementioned. You learn a lot in theory and have very good experts.

Muy satisfactoria y recomendable. Ofrece un gran abanico de localidades y oportunidades a la hora de realizar las prácticas hospitalarias. Los docentes, en su gran mayoría competentes y atentos, hacen aún más fácil el estudio de este grado. Se organizan jornadas y actividades muy útiles para nuestro futuro profesional, y también permiten llegar a un trato más personal y directo con los profesores. Las posibilidades de obtener experiencias tanto nacionales como internacionales no son muy variadas, pero las existentes son de gran interés.

Muy buenas las instalaciones del campus y la calidad docente de la facultad, tanto humana como profesional, haciendo tu estancia muy agradable Al ser de otra ciudad pude escoger las prácticas por mi zona y ahorrarme el viaje diario Buena variedad de formación tanto dentro del país como fuera. Mi única queja es la zona donde está la facultad que no haya mucho aparcamiento, y eso la UCA lo debería de haber pensado cuando hizo la nueva facultad, ya que somos muchos de fuera y solemos coger el coche para que nos salga el viaje más económico

Fantástica. Muy contento con la docencia. La recomiendo. Hacen falta más Joseph Stiglitz's en este mundo y la economía dejaría de ser un galimatías para ser algo más cercano, sencillo y sin trampas. A estudiar! pequeños imberbes ?

Good university administratively, good services for young students,encourages sports, good digital services,economical facilities, but learning isn't at the level I expected and all sevices are destinated for less than 40 years students.
