And the best part! You will live a UNIQUE university experience. You will be able to participate in student societies such as Mirada21, specializing in radio, production, television or writing, among others, Debate Society or Video Games&Level Up, start your own company in the Entrepreneurship Club, join sports teams or attend hundreds of activities.
You will be able to do internships in companies such as Atresmedia, Europa Press, RTVE, La Fábrica de la Tele, Onda Cero, Unidad Editorial, etc. and if you want, you can also work in the UFV media, the Mirada 21 group (television, newspaper, radio, production company and advertising agency).

We train journalists with a critical spirit
A journalist has a deep sense of responsibility to society, as his or her work informs and shapes public opinion. Faced with the enormous challenge of communicating something valuable, based on truth and that transforms society, you will take take in humanistic training and social action with which you will acquire a deep look at the world. This will make you an agent of change, in demand by the media, who sees beyond what others see.
I would recommend studying at UFV because the training given to students is not only theoretical, but especially practical. Despite its growth, the university has maintained the idiosyncrasies of a small institution, with close professors and a friendly atmosphere.
The UFV awakened my curiosity about the world around me and taught me the importance of doubt as a tool to always seek the truth, which is essential in my profession.
Studying here and, now, teaching at this university, gives me a lot on a personal level, because of the values that all the people who are part of this great family transmit.
At UFV I have lived multiple volunteer experiences and I could not imagine that this was going to change both my university career and my life. Thanks to UFV for ‘making life’ also outside the classroom.
The UFV facilities make the difference and the internships are developed in the best professional environment, which favors the jump to the working world. I chose the UFV for the practical training and I have managed to turn my passion into my job by covering Olympic Games, World Cups, Champions League and matches of all sports
UFV made my dream of becoming a journalist come true. Here I forged my foundations as a professional. I entered as a student and two decades later I am still a professor, with the same spirit as an apprentice and the same passion for journalism.
UFV is a great school where, in addition to learning the knowledge of your university degree, you learn values that enrich you as a student and with which you become part of a community.
