University of Crete - UOC (reviews)

This university has some of the best departments in my country, but at the same time they’re too hard to go through. The undergraduate degrees are supposed to take 4 years but most people finish them after 5, in my department specifically most people get their degree at 6. But, at the same time I cannot not mention that it’s the best of it’s kind in my country, and at the top lists in Europe.

My department was social science and there were great teachers with wide knowledge. Most importantly thought we had the chance to have subjects from other departments also. For example i was a student of sociology but i was doing also subjects from phycology or from education or economics. And so i got a variety of knowledge. Which i think that for my department was mandatory. The department that i was in was in Rethymnon. It had a great view it was not a regular big building but it had small ones and it made it beautiful. It had the most organised and big library that i have ever seen in a university so far. Overall it is totally worth it to study there.

The University of Crete offers a unique academic experience, blending rigorous coursework with a strong cultural and social environment. I study maths, and the program’s structure encourages critical thinking and creativity. The professors are passionate and always open to discussions, making classes engaging. The campus, surrounded by Crete’s natural beauty, provides a peaceful setting for studying and reflection. What I’ve appreciated most is the sense of community among students—there’s always someone ready to help or collaborate. While the public transport system could be better, the university’s vibrant culture and academic quality make it a great choice.

I studied Philosophy at the University of Crete. The lectures were very well organized and very well supported by the lecturers. We had bibliography both in Greek and in English. The lecturers were very knowledgable and very eager to help the students.
