Tania Rey – Bachelor of Nursing

Looking back on my time at the University of Andorra, what I would highlight most is the personal and human growth that the University has given me. It is a small, welcoming university where the academic and professional staff know you personally, follow your progress, and see your development both as a professional and as an individual. That is something truly special.
What I would particularly highlight about the Nursing degree is the amount of practical training we receive, including simulations and practical workshops. It is a degree that requires a great deal of hands-on experience, repeated practice and the continuous integration of theoretical knowledge, because if you do not put what you learn into practice regularly, it is much harder to fully absorb it.
Finally, I believe we should never stop learning. When you are older, as in my case, studying is not necessarily more difficult; you simply have more responsibilities or less time. On the other hand, I think you assimilate knowledge much better and rely less on memorisation. For me, it has been an extremely positive experience, and sharing this journey with younger generations has been truly enriching.

Joan Verdú – Bachelor of Business Administration

I am very pleased to have finally completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. It took a little longer than expected because of my competition schedule, but I am extremely satisfied with the experience.
I would like to thank the University of Andorra for the flexibility it has shown in adapting my studies to my sporting commitments by offering additional classes and tutorials whenever I needed them to support my learning. It has been a very positive experience, and I am proud to have completed my degree.

Silvana Ferrer – Bachelor of Computer Science

What I would highlight most about the University of Andorra is the personalised support provided by the academic staff throughout the three years of my degree, both to me and to all my classmates. Whenever you needed help, they were always there, and there was always a solution. I believe this makes a real difference and greatly enhances your university experience.
As for the course itself, I would particularly highlight the robotics modules, which allowed us to work with real hardware—something that many universities do not offer and that I believe is extremely valuable. So, if you are interested in this field, I am sure you will really enjoy this subject.
I chose the University of Andorra because, besides the fact that my family eventually moved to Andorra, it is the only university where the courses are taught entirely in Catalan, apart from a few modules delivered in English, and that was very important to me. I would also highlight the personalised approach, which you are told about even before you arrive and which makes you feel part of a close-knit group, almost like a family, rather than simply being one student among seventy others.

Pablo Agea – Bachelor of Teaching and Learning

I am delighted to have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Education. The truth is that these have been three very demanding but also very rewarding years. During this time I have learned a great deal and genuinely enjoyed the learning process, which has been highly personalised and tailored to each student. It really prepares you to enter the profession with confidence.
Although there are more women than men in my class, I would encourage any young man who enjoys working with children and feels ready to work in a classroom to pursue this career. Teaching is a profession with no gender, and they should feel proud to dedicate themselves to educating children.

Lucia Culleres – Bachelor of Business Administration

If you are interested in starting your own business or working in areas such as marketing or customer relations, I believe this is an excellent degree. It offers a wide range of career opportunities: you can work in administration, accounting or auditing; specialise in commercial law; pursue a career in marketing; or focus on human resources.
You also have the opportunity to complete work placements in a company, which is a great advantage because you can choose the organisation that interests you most without having to compete for a placement. You learn a great deal, gain genuine experience of the professional world, and are made to feel very welcome. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.

Rosa Guerris – Bachelor of Laws

My journey at the University of Andorra began many years ago. I first completed a Diploma in Tourism and, once I had finished, I wanted to continue studying, so I decided to enrol in the Bachelor’s Degree in Law. After completing it, I felt encouraged to continue with the Master’s Degree in Law.
At the age of 58, I can honestly say that with determination and a willingness to keep learning, you can achieve great things.
Studying Law at the University of Andorra allows you to gain an in-depth understanding of the country’s legal system. Having a university in Andorra also makes it much easier to organise your studies, as travelling is straightforward and there is also the option of studying online. In addition, the teaching staff and tutors are always available to support us, making it very convenient to continue with higher education.

Erik Capella – Bachelor of Business Administration

What I would highlight most is that it is a very open and approachable university. Because there are relatively few students, we have direct communication with the teaching staff, who are always available to answer any questions and are very approachable.
I managed to combine my studies with work successfully because I received a great deal of support from both the University and my employer. I would therefore encourage anyone who is working and thinking about studying not to give up on the idea.
Of all the subjects I studied, Auditing was my favourite. More importantly, however, the degree gives you a broad range of knowledge that helps you develop both personally and professionally. If I decide to start my own business in the future, I feel I will be well prepared to face any challenge.

Paula Tardiu – Bachelor of Teaching and Learning

What I have enjoyed most about the degree is its dual approach, which combines theoretical learning with practical experience. We undertake placements in the different educational systems in Andorra, giving us a broad understanding of the various teaching models and approaches. At the same time, we continue studying the theoretical aspects, which helps us apply everything we learn directly in schools. This makes the learning experience much more meaningful because you can immediately see it put into practice.
In addition, at the end of each module we complete projects that bring us closer to working with children, such as the Science Fair. Through these creative educational projects, we are able to deepen and reinforce the knowledge we have gained throughout the programme.

Asier Martínez – Bachelor of Nursing

It has been an intense and highly rewarding experience. I have acquired theoretical knowledge, developed the interpersonal skills needed to work with people, and I am very pleased with everything I have learned.
What I would highlight most is the placement period, as it gives us extensive practical experience, together with the opportunity to undertake placements outside Andorra. I would also emphasise the strong sense of teamwork and camaraderie among students. It has certainly been a demanding journey, but I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Class of 2025

Students from the Class of 2025 talk about their time at the University of Andorra and the reasons why they recommend studying there:

Celine de Barros – Bachelor of Nursing

“The Nursing degree has taught me not only to be a good professional who cares for others, but also a great deal on a personal level: how to work in a team, to love others unconditionally and, above all, to be more human. The UdA has been a great university for all of us – a place where we have been able to train, where classmates have become friends and friends have become family, after three years of studying together, many sleepless nights, countless exams… We will miss the close bond we formed, always supporting and helping one another.”

Meritxell Silvestre – Advanced Professional Diploma in Accounting and Management

“I encourage everyone, regardless of age, to study the DPA or any bachelor’s degree at the University of Andorra, as it is a very welcoming, friendly, and highly personalised university.”

Maria Magdalena Fernandes – Bachelor of Business Administration

“What I’ve enjoyed most about studying at the UdA is everything we’ve learned over the years, the teaching staff, and the friends I’ve made.”

Helena Charrua – Bachelor of Teaching and Learning

“What I’ve enjoyed the most has been meeting new people and the journey we’ve been on. We’ve learned so much, and thanks to the teaching staff and my classmates, I’ve been able to make real progress. I’m very proud of the path I’ve taken.”

Beatrice Veres – Bachelor of Computer Science

“What stands out for me is the personalised attention we’ve received from the teaching staff, the camaraderie, and all the classmates we’re taking with us.”

Sandra Fernandes – Bachelor of Teaching and Learning

“What I value most is the camaraderie and the closeness with the teaching staff. I believe it’s a very welcoming university, which is a great advantage for those who want to make lasting friendships and for fostering strong cohesion within the class.”

Elies Retamosa – Bachelor of Computer Science

“What I would highlight from my time at the University is both the people and the facilities. We’ve had access to great laboratories and good spaces to work, as well as a teaching staff that truly cares about the students: the lecturers provide a lot of support to help you overcome the challenges of the degree. Regarding the Bachelor’s in Computer Science, I recommend it not only because of the professional opportunities it offers, but also because it’s a lot of fun and covers many different technologies. In fact, it’s the lecturers themselves who encourage you to work with the most cutting-edge technologies and make a real effort to help you do so.”

Marcos Amorim – Bachelor of Computer Science

“I would especially highlight the companionship. Since the teams are very small, the truth is that we have really pulled together and I have made some very good friends who have helped me enormously throughout the progress of this three-year degree. Moreover, having such a small group helps during tutorials, as the lecturers provide very personalised support to each student, which makes it very unlikely for anyone to fall behind, as we always work closely together, move forward as one, and if someone is struggling, they receive much more help. Without a doubt, the career prospects in computer science are almost limitless, as it is a very much in-demand profession nowadays. I can assure you that you will come out of here, if not with a job, then with a very secure professional pathway. Furthermore, the knowledge we gain and the technologies we learn, even if perhaps not approached in a very specialised manner, allow us to enter this world in a very cutting-edge way.”

Asier Del Rosal – Bachelor of Computer Science

“I would mainly highlight the team we have and the opportunity to be in a course with very few people, as this means the way the lecturers teach you is much more personalised, which is a great advantage. The Computer Science bachelor’s degree has provided all of us with professional opportunities—not just at the end, but already halfway through the degree many of us find jobs in the country. Furthermore, the content is of high quality; we learn the latest technologies, the lecturers ensure this, and honestly, it has been a very positive experience.”

Marta Bover – Bachelor of Nursing

“Since it is a small university, this allows us to have a closer relationship with all the lecturers and for everyone to get to know each other. And, in the end, if you ever have a problem in the future, they are always willing to help. From my time at the UdA, I would highlight the opportunity given to all Nursing students to go abroad for placements, whether to Spain, France, Portugal, or Monaco. And, of course, a certain level of competence is always expected from us, which means we give our best and, in the future, it opens doors for us.”

Maria Lluïsa Marin – Bachelor of Business Administration

“Since it is a small university, this allows us to have a closer relationship with all the lecturers and for everyone to get to know each other. And, in the end, if you ever have a problem in the future, they are always willing to help. From my time at the UdA, I would highlight the opportunity given to all Nursing students to go abroad for placements, whether to Spain, France, Portugal, or Monaco. And, of course, a certain level of competence is always expected from us, which means we give our best and, in the future, it opens doors for us.”

Marc Ferreiro – Bachelor of Business Administration

“What I value most about the University of Andorra is its quality of teaching, the public spaces, and the personalised attention. In fact, the main advantage is this personalised support, which means that if I had to choose a university again, I would choose the UdA once more to pursue my studies. The Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration allows you to acquire various skills, such as accounting, auditing, taxation, and mathematics… But it’s not all about numbers; there are also subjects like commercial management, international trade, and other tools that can support your professional growth.”

Class of 2019

Some of the students who graduated in 2019 assess their time at the University of Andorra and tell us about the experiences throughout their years of education.

Carlos Pereira – Bachelor of Business Administration

“I recommend the University of Andorra because the fact that the classes are small with not so many students makes everything really friendly; the teachers are very approachable and you have plenty of opportunities to learn things in different ways.  I also like the combination between theory and practice, as there’s lots of practical work with computers, and that’s good”.

“I’m already working and what’s helped me a lot from the bachelor’s degree are the practical classes with the computer, especially those on Excel. For me it’s essential for the work I’m doing and it’s helped me a lot”.

Stephanie Marasigan – Bachelor of Nursing

“From my time at the UdA I’d underline the experience it’s given us; in Nursing we don’t do the internships just in Andorra, as they also give us the chance to do them in other centres in Spain and France, and I even have classmates who’ve been able to do them in Monaco. I appreciate the personalised treatment the teaching staff offer; they’re really supportive and if you have any queries they’ll help you out with anything”.

“As there aren’t many of us, there’s a lot more connection among the classmates. In other places I’ve seen lots of competition and here it’s not the case; on the contrary, there’s a great deal of cohesion and we really help each other”.

Meritxell Rocha – Bachelor of Nursing

“The Bachelor of Nursing is an outstanding course. If you like caring for and looking after people, it’s the best thing you can do”.

“From my time at the UdA I’d like to emphasise the high standard required, which brought the best out of us and will help us to be better professionals. And the kindness of the teachers; they’ve been really nice people and when we’ve had a personal problem they’ve been there to give us their support, which also means the course isn’t so tough”.

Katia Castro – Bachelor of Business Administration

“I came from Ecuador and in the first year, not having any Catalan, I enjoyed special treatment and was able to do the classes in Spanish. Then, in the second and third years, I did everything in Catalan, but I think this is a great benefit for students who come from abroad”.

“What I like about the Bachelor of Business Administration is that it’s made up of several parts; each of them is associated with a different work area, such as accounting, management or financial management. In this way you can take in a bit of everything and you have lots of career opportunities”.

Bruno Gouveia – Bachelor of Business Administration

“I like the University of Andorra because it’s very small and that means we’re like a little family. For this reason you can always rely on the teachers to give you a hand. The important thing is that we’re not just numbers, as can happen at larger universities such as Barcelona or Salamanca”.

Aida Gómez – Bachelor of Teaching and Learning

“What I liked most is that the instructors are so approachable, they help you a lot in both the personal and academic fields. They give you a lot of support throughout the degree and they guide you and encourage you to continue if you encounter any setbacks”.

“The Teaching and Learning degree is lots of fun; in the first year we begin making short appearances at schools, doing small plays and activities for the children (from the youngest ones to the oldest ones), and this encourages you to continue and want to be a teacher”.

Brandon Dias – Bachelor of Teaching and Learning

“I recommend the Bachelor of Teaching and Learning because it really opens the door to a totally unknown world. When we think about school and teachers, we don’t consider that behind things there’s a theory and very specific methodologies to be followed to teach future citizens to create a better world, which is what we want to achieve”.

“As it’s a very small university, it leads to a very good student-lecturer relationship, which means we can learn while having fun with them”.

Maria del Carmen Cardoso – Bachelor of Teaching and Learning

“What I liked most is that from the first year onwards I had the opportunity to relate to the children, going to a classroom, having to prepare the class and setting the pace. This helps you to work out if you really like the profession and how you can improve, and I find that very important”.

“As it’s a small university, you have the chance to have greater contact with the instructors and personalised attention. If you have any queries you can go to their office, while some of them even give you their phone number and you can call them, not just for classroom issues but also for help with personal matters”.

 Carles Ferri – Bachelor of Computer Science

“At other universities, having a tutorial with the instructor is like asking the doctor for an appointment, while here, on the other hand, the relationship between students and instructors is really friendly, and you have them at your disposal at any time”.

“As there aren’t many of us in the classroom, the classes are very personalised; all the syllabus is covered but the instructor goes at the pace set by the students. If we want to spend more time on a specific subject, there’s lots of flexibility.

Dídac Invernon – Bachelor of Computer Science

“The University of Andorra gives you the chance to do university-level studies online, enabling you to combine your work and studies”.

“The Computer Science degree has been like a refresher course, enabling me to update myself with the area of computing, which is a field that evolves very quickly”.
