Polytechnic University of Tirana - UPT (reviews)

I studied architecture and it was a nightmare. The professors were not helpful at all. There were many subjects of different knowledges which i liked, but the teaching methods were old-style and in general the way the classes are organized and administered, were not positive, modern and helpful.
The environment does not meet the requirements to be called an architecture school.
The student opinion regarding professors, classes, schedules is not taken in consideration.
I thing there are many points in which this university needs improvement.

I would highly recommend this university for it is a great opportunity and challenge at the same time.The academic staff is very well prepared and professional to the highest limit.The facility is tolerable, but the main thing is that the laboratories for informatics and algorithmic are equipped to the standard. Adapting is the hardest part,b ut if you stay focused and you are willing to study, you will make it.
It’s not gonna be easy, but is definitely worth it.

There was always a negative attitude towards students I still haven’t come to terms with after 4 years of having finished the studies there.The staff is unqualified and not supportive. You always feel like a burden to them.The program is ok for someone in a computer engineering profile but school lacks labs and necessary equipment for students. Surprisingly enough there is no openness to other schools and abroad applications keeping it a privilege to some.

There are a lot of problems but it stills remains the first option for high-school students with high grades as the academical level at 65% accomplishes the criteria for studying a bachelors degree. For masters the programs are outdated to the new technologies and continuing the masters will look like a deja vu of bachelor. The programs are all taught in Albanian and this is a negative point as well for students wishing to have an international career. Most of students are not right evaluated because of a harsh system with unnecessary subjects. From my own experience I would have prefered spending more money abroad in a real recognized university rather than wasting 4 years of my life.
