My time at the UAB as part of the European Joint Master's Programme in English and American Studies was an enriching academic and personal experience. The academic offer was perfectly aligned with my interests, and I especially appreciated the comprehensive training in each subject area, along with the strong emphasis on critical thinking and independent research. The teaching staff's expertise and encouragement fostered curiosity, discussion, and active participation. Living in Barcelona added immense cultural value to the experience: the vibrant cultural scene and international atmosphere made it an unforgettable journey. This opportunity contributed greatly to my personal growth and reinforced my academic ambitions.
