International mobility: UB students around the world
In this video, we talk to four students from the University of Barcelona about their international mobility experiences. Two of them are currently studying abroad: Josep Aumatell is at the University College London, and Marina Anguita at the University of Montpellier. The other two spent time outside Europe last year: Raul Dal Pezzo attended Curtin University (Australia), and Maria Monllor was at the University of Chile. All four are examples of how to take advantage of the possibility of studying at one of the more than one thousand universities around the world with which the UB has mobility agreements.
