Administration Business graduate (Bachelor’s), July 2019.
Overall, this faculty is seven all across the board, in my opinion. Firstly, I would like to highlight the best things in my experience.
1. Literature: books are good, a lot of real-life examples and a lot of study cases, national and international ones.
2. Academic Staff: There are professors really capable of transmitting academic knowledge to students but not only that, I would like to mention some professors that really push their students to know more, that motivate them and try to learn them to open their wings to a world of limitless possibilities
3. Career Activities: there is a yearly showroom (every spring) of different national and international companies (for ex. Deloitte, Vodafone, Intesa Sanpaolo Bank, etc) that come together in the faculty hall to attract best students in their intern programs or to offer jobs to the graduate students.
Now to the negative aspects that pretty much apply to most of the public higher institutions in Albania:
1. Infrastructure: a really weak point actually, investments have been made throughout the years but there are a lot of problems regarding the physical classes, computers, accounting, and informatics laboratories. Also, I would mention the Biblioteca, its space is not enough for an institution of higher education of more than 4000 students, there is a limited number of academic reviews and studies, books available to master and doctorate students.
2. Timeline of classes: being a master’s student is especially hard because there is no flexibility in following lectures and also having a job/internship (part/full time).
3. Price: price-wise, to get a degree is relatively cheap but there is a hard time for students that have really low incomes. Also not to mention the price of the books, especially the ones that come as a translated publishings, that cost more than 2000 ALL on average.
4. Student life: is very poor in activities, all I can think about is ‘the summer school’ and ‘the debate championship’. There are no clubs were different students can come together and share experiences and become good friends (really cold people in general, need some love). I’d like to see more volunteering activities towards the orphanages and maybe helping the community around the campus.
I have good memories of FEUT and there are moments and people that changed my life and that I will never forget. Maybe there things are not perfect but I’ve learned everything around you depends in the way that you see things.
I think that students that graduate in FEUT can easily do well in master programs in European universities.
