On Friday there are several student bars that open on campus where a lot of students gather to drink and have fun. There are also events that take place once or twice per month.

Regarding the actual courses, you are given a significant degree of freedom when choosing the courses that you would like to attend. With the exception of some mandatory courses for general competences and technological specialization, you are free to choose from an extended list of courses. You can also choose to have special courses which you define yourself together with a professor so that you can tailor your studies to your specific interests. The university offers a variety of theoretical and experimental courses. The majority of professors are very kind and helpful and always ask for the students’ opinions on how they can improve the course in the future.
