They’ve already done it – you can too

NJOVU – Founder

Jaime Galán

I believe that the concept of ‘learning by doing’ is the best way to learn.

Studying veterinary medicine and being a UAXmaker opens up a world of opportunities. It is through practical experience that you truly develop your skills. Having a theoretical foundation is very important, but in reality, it is the practical element that makes all the difference; it is this that enables you to tackle real-life situations which you will be able to apply in your future career.

NJOVU is dedicated to animal welfare and the prevention of poaching, developing educational and awareness-raising projects in local communities and promoting scientific research projects.

What I would highlight most about UAX is that it enables us to network with one another, whether within the same sector or even across different ones.

Studying Veterinary Medicine at Alfonso X el Sabio University has been an incredible experience. Right from the start, I’ve been able to put everything I’ve learnt in class into practice. What I value most is the comprehensive training we receive, both in theory and in practice, and the high standard of the teaching staff. Furthermore, the clinical experience we gain both at the faculty’s veterinary hospital and at other centres means we graduate from the course much better prepared.

I think the Biomedicine degree at UAX is incredible, wonderful and very well designed.

The labs are brilliant, especially the new BIOLAB. I like all the lecturers; I can tell they’re passionate about what they teach, and the fact that they’re so approachable makes things much more enjoyable. What’s more, the lectures are recorded, which helps me a great deal.
