This university is so well. the ambient is wonderfull and the people of mallorca is awesom. the professors are just... professors but sometimes you can find a very professional one and so good person. I recomend it so much.
They are one of the first five universities in Spain in innovation and technological development and research quality. In addition, we are one of the top ten in the world in research in the tourism field, and one of the top eight in teaching quality and innovation.
The University of the Balearic Islands is a good University with friendly professors. Sometimes organisation problems occur, however nothing that cannot be dealt with. Everyone is very helpful and kind. It is however not easy to find a course here if you do not speak Catalan or at least Spanish. There are very few courses taught in English and most of the staff does not know any other language besides Spanish and Catalan. Nevertheless, there will always be someone on campus who will help you. The campus is nice and green, constantly modernising. The sport centre offers a good deal for university students.
