The objective of this research was to analyze the experiences of undergraduate students in education about their teaching-learning process during the pandemic, in order to have information to improve learning during the post-pandemic. The approach was qualitative of phenomenological type and 38 students participated, distributed in 4 focus groups, one per semester. Students reported: physical and emotional problems, lack of some skills, access problems, some difficulties in asynchronous activities and in synchronous classes. In addition, they made suggestions about the technological infrastructure, the training of teachers and themselves. These results were very useful in the preparation of the gradual return to the classroom during the post-award period due to the identification of aspects to be improved with respect to technological infrastructure, teacher training and student training; therefore, it had an impact on the improvement of courses in different educational modalities.
