Student review [#21547] for Social Work
at University of Debrecen

The University of Debrecen is well known as the best international student-friendly educational institution in Hungary. Among more than 80 programs offered by this university, MSc in Social Work in Health care is one of the top-rated programs chosen by prospective international students. The course content of this program is well designed and mainly based on practice (64% of the total coursework). The teachers and administration bodies are so friendly with the students and ready to provide all sorts of support to the students. However, apart from curriculum design, this program highly lacks efficient teaching quality. The majority of the teachers are not proficient enough in English which makes the lectures difficult to understand and boring to concentrate on. Besides, individual classes are too long (3-7 hours) to stay focused as it creates a monotonous environment. Examination and evaluation system is also less efficient to test students’ knowledge of the courses. It leads students to stay indifferent to the classes and coursework. The program has better career prospects in the USA, Canada, and the UK in comparison to other European countries and Hungary itself. Therefore, if the teaching quality and evaluation system could be improved, this program would be in its best form to attract more national and international students.
