I started studying for my master’s degree in translation at the University of Turin in 2019. I’ve been able to attend all my courses until the pandemic hit us all, in my case (since I live in Italy) at the beginning of the second semester. I have to admit that some teachers just uploaded files and files to study for the exam saying that it was enough and that, in any case, we could request an appointment with her/him to talk about our possible issues. Other teachers tried very hard to adapt to the new situation, but the results haven’t been so good. Classes were sometimes overwhelmed and following them wasn’t so easy. I regret not being able to study and attend classes on the new campus. Before starting in 2019 a lot of work had been done to the building and the classrooms were modern, with new furniture and electronic devices. Speaking of the faculty, I found my teachers professional and always available to be reached out, by emails and even during their office hours. I would recommend my course to anybody, especially to the people who attended their bachelor’s at a southern university, like Catania, Messina, Naples ect…
To sum up, I think this university could have been, according to my experience, way better, but the pandemic did make everything difficult. This is why I wrote that it was great, but not perfect. I just enrolled right in the worst moment ever for the education system.
