My TESOL journey

The teachers were AMAZING, the programme would use some work in updating the technology classes specifically, and I would have loved to have different electives. But overall, the classes were great, and the content was amazingly relevant to my professional development.

Good option

This university offers a wide range of degree programmes. In my case, I studied Medical Surgery at the León campus. In my opinion, the academic programme is designed to prepare you for the world of work, including theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The professors you will have while studying are specialist doctors who currently work in hospitals, which is very valuable because it gives you the opportunity to learn from surgeons and clinicians.
