Degree in Biology - University of La Laguna

Studying Biology in the University of la Laguna was a great experience that allowed me to know many professionals in the discipline and understand how life works from the molecular to the ecosystem level. I developed a huge passion towards ecology and evolution, especially regarding arthropods, thanks to many professors that transmitted me their motivation and helped me establish contact with the international environment through several internships abroad. During the course of 4 academic years, the most important lesson I learned is that creating a network of good people to collaborate and learn with is the key to scientific progress.

Average university

My university is a good, average university, in terms of classes and professors I would highlight it for its kindness and good teaching, however there is too much paperwork for any nonsense and they do not answer the authority entities on time.
