It sure tries

Currently I’m in my fourth year of studies at this university, and more specifically at the Finance and Accounting department. Firstly, it needs to be mentioned that the courses provided offer a diverse and multi-faceted education giving the students the ability to choose what fits them best and further study on it, from a wide selection.

Moreover, most of the professors teaching there really know their stuff and always try to make the students think for themselves without any restrictions. Of course, there are also a couple of what we would call “bad” teachers who are just not good at their jobs, but with the evaluation system in place they can leave.

Unfortunately, there are some serious disadvantages to this university in the education department, starting with the lack of space regarding amphitheaters forcing many students to not attend classes since they simply won’t have room to fit in the class.
Additionally, a quarter of the educational staff is comprised of older generation teachers, who while they know their stuff, they are more often than not lacking in their teaching skills especially in keeping the students’ attention, or they are not that familiar with modern technologies.

My Experience through studying Balkan Slavic and Oriental Studies

I am about to graduate from the above University. I have been studying there for 5 years. I would be very tough by saying that they didn’t offer to me anything but my expectations before enrollment were higher than reality. The department where I did study is very popular at the moment, but even our proffesors had pointed that there is a lack of cooperation between them. As a result we do not have a clear study program and a wholy knowledge of any particular subject. We got a bit of scientific information about many fields like Macro, Micro economics, Political Economy, Managment, Marketing, Languages but the majority of us graduated without been wholy “trained” to any of them. That is the main drawback of being a student in that department . Taking part in student organizations and socializing with students is of course a nice part of the journey. Also, university always increase your willingness to learn and your curiosity (life, science, other cultures). To sum up before choosing that department try to approach alumini students and make them as many questions as possible to check if that fits on you.

Four years at the department of Applied Informatics.

I study at the Department of Applied Informatics. I had to study a lot and I was complaining a lot during my studies, but as I started using the knowledge that I got from those 4 years, I also started having a pretty good CV. This department combines IT along with Economy and marketing, so for someone that is not really sure what to choose, these 4 years are more than enough to realise which field is better for him.

Too good to be true

Although it is known for its economic orientation, hardly could I admit it can provide students with the adequate knowledge, both theoretical and practical. The only advantage is that it opens a large number of opportunities in their finding a job.

Mediocrity

In my opinion, UOM has many administrative and financial problems and that’s the reason why the services it provides to the students are below average. Fortunately, the majority of the professors has a high level of knowledge and in general, they are very good at what they’re doing.

My university

I am in the 5th year of my studies at the University of Macedonia, in the department of business administration (B.A). My university is a great opportunity for all the students especially for those who like economics, that’s why I choose it.

Excellent

During these years, I learned a lot of things from the teachers who in most of them were quite eager to evolve us and give us as much as possible. The space of the university was large enough to accommodate a large number of students and was kept quiet I would especially recommend it to people who want to pursue the field of economics and business as it is a predominantly economic university with many choices/areas to follow each one.
