Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje - UKIM (reviews)

My experience studying at this university was okay. Some teachers are very helpful and present, others you can barely find on campus and the assistants end up doing all of their work for them. As for the students and the student life, I think its the best you could possibly find. They are all super nice, everyone helps everyone and they instantly become your close friends.

The University experience was very good overall, considering the country has limited financial resources. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering provided me with very good resilience, logical thinking and problem-solving skills that I easily now implement in my career. The programs were limited and not up to date with advanced tech knowledge. Student projects were not common, therefore the level of knowledge gained could have been better.

The University has many student organizations which provide opportunities for students to go to international workshops, exchange programs, and internships, and that is a very good benefit overall that adds to the traditional learning.

My university is in Skopje, I live in Sveti Nikole. When I started, the amphitheatres were really cold, the food and drinks were really expensive, the toilets were old and didn’t have soaps or paper, I went to school by bus. I had classes Monday to Thursday, about 4 hours, Fridays were always free on Iustinianus Primula. It would be better if we had mid exams, we only have final exams and it’s really hard to focus and pass all classes.

As a sophomore who has only attended university online, I can only share opinions on the efficiency of the online exam submission and how the university chose to execute it. the biggest problem is the fact that we are required to chose and submit the information about the subjects we want online and also have to physically go and fill in paperwork (which we have to buy with our own money) wait in line for hours to submit papers with the same regurgitated information that is already online.
