UB vs. Roma2 Msc Economics
Hi everyone! I'm deciding between the English taught MSc in Economics at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and the University of Barcelona School of Economics. I'd really appreciate any insights from current students or alumni.
A few quick questions:
Career prospects: What kind of jobs do graduates usually get? How is the program viewed by employers? (If you're Chinese, how well was the degree recognized back in China?)
Tor Vergata only: How easy is it for a non-EU student who meets the financial requirements to receive the Lazio DISCO grant? How long does it usually take to be paid?
Part-time work: Is it realistic to work 10–15 hours per week during the program? How easy is it to find English-speaking part-time jobs?
Student life: How is the student experience, especially at UB School of Economics? Is it easy to make friends and feel part of the community?
Looking back: If you could choose again, would you still pick this program? Why or why not?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
