Usually, everything works fine at dean office. However, there might be a miscommunication between students and coordinator. Ofc, I know only one department.

Studying What I Enjoy, Cultural Studies
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
In my Bachelor's degree, I studied something I didn't want it. That's why I start my studies at UAM at Intercultural Communication. The subjects are perfectly interesting to me. I just finished my first semester. Right now it's going enjoyable for me.
