Nacho Garcia Sala
Dentistry student
“I believe that the UIC offers many advantages, very high quality teaching staff and facilities, and in addition, is constantly innovating and reinventing itself. It deals with each student in a very personalised way and enables us, through work with modern scientific articles, to be critical and really learn about the profession today. You also grow a lot through the work practice, both because of the volume and the high-quality, in preclinic and in the University Dental Clinic.”
