Paluxo

My name is Paluxo and I came from Guinea-Bissau. I just enrolled in the Master of Health Applied Science. I chose this master’s because I have already done a technical course in health inspection and sanitation in Guinea and I need more knowledge in the area. I hope it is good because it’s a new reality. Between there in Guinea and here, the education systems are very different. I want to learn everything that will be taught here.

Hello. I’m Julia and I come from the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia. I’m in the fourth year of the course of Industrial Engineering and Product Design and I chose Guarda because it included many different disciplines and wanted a country with customs similar to those of Spain. As for the expectations I have for Guarda: getting to know new cultures and people and learning a lot of practical career issues.
