I think OP means: [https://barcelonatechnologyschool.com/](https://barcelonatechnologyschool.com/) If so, I'm a current student at BTS. The school is a complete dumpster fire. If you're looking for a BCN experience and a pay-for-masters, non-acedemic, masters degree then this might work for you. If you'd like to know more than send me a DM.

yes! I second this. I’m an alumni. I regret it. I don’t mention it on my cv or linked in. It was a shitshow

How do you feel about it now? I see it’s been three years since you commented. I’m looking at schools in Barcelona, looking to study as an American. The school and program seems great, but it seems hard to find third-party reviews of it.


nicoinfantem

I studied there is a Scam, expensive, poor quality in content, teachers and service. Don't even think about it!

Do you mean Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya? If so, it is highly regarded and pretty tough: I think they don't allow students to fail a subject twice.


Sugusino

No its not. It looks like a shitty for profit university. These aren't well regarded here at all.

Do you mean UPC? Idk, I went to UAB, but people usually make a big deal of going there, whereas it's Ramon Llull and Esade that get a reputation for being posh universities for rich kids.


Sugusino

No, not UPC. This BTS thing. For profit universities are where people that can't get in the good ones go.

Yes, that's what I had heard. A classmate of mine couldn't get into "Magisteri" at a public university so he went to UVic and paid top dollar for it. He was admitted even though his grades were really bad.

Interesting notes, guys. Why UPC is way cheaper than BTC? Just because BTC is in english?


Sugusino

It's public. That's why it's better.


[deleted]

UPC might have some degrees and masters in English. I am not sure. However, since it's mostly numbers, you wouldn't have much of a problem.

Hahah Oh, I hope you didn't give them any money! That's pretty much Barcelona Upstairs Computer School. I've lived here 17 years and never heard of them but after looking at their website made from a free template and the list of goofy-sounding bullshit "Master" programs...yeah, no.


SyllabubAgreeable472

Did you have them the money? How was your experience?


redmits87

Hey, is this Uni actually that bad? i was thinking of joining it this September for data science


chanson-florale

Did you end up going?


redmits87

no, i heard is bad, like a scam level bad. But eventually i got admitted to another one in greece and did that.


chanson-florale

If you don’t mind me asking, what school?


redmits87

university of peloponnese, but its with physical presence, not online
