Computer Science at the University of Murcia

In the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Murcia, there are many classes on computer structures, something basic to understand the history and operation of computers, as well as many other subjects, such as programming in various programming languages, having a wide range to be able to program in different situations. It is mainly deepened in Linux, because thanks to this you can learn much more everything related to computing and mastery of bash, for the proper configuration of an orndenador, for this we provide laboratories with computers with this operating system (and others like windows) to be able to teach these classes.

Open minded and oportunities

What I like about this university is how commited the lecturers are to their students and how interested they are in how the students are doing in the various subjects and what they think about them. I will summarise my experience in two words: Opportunities. The teachers provide many opportunities for their students to improve and work. Also, I would add that they are open-minded, because the way they teach is not a traditional way, unless they teach you in a way where you learn and also feel like you are part of something.
