Student review [#48212] for Mechanical Engineering with Aeronautics
at University of Patras

The University of Patras is located in the greek city of Patras. Its facilities leave a lot to be desired and it’s faculty has its problems and deficiencies too. However, its curriculum is of high quality and, at least in the dept. of engineering, capable of producing professionals that can be just as competitive as their EU counterparts.

The lecture halls are nice, but they are definitely not taking into account the local climate. They are claustrophobic with little natural lighting, as they are built following Scandinavian standards. The laboratories, in the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, are… lacking to say the least. They are old, out of date and insufficiently staffed to a large degree.

Most professors are capable, with some shining examples. Some are more than deserving of their position, with lectures that are interesting, captivating and highly focused. They show great expertise in their subject and they definitely know what they are talking about. Others are, uhm, useless. Put in place by bureaucrats, through corruption and having the right connections rather than their worth as researchers and teachers.
