Malawi University of Science and Technology - Must Speciality : Mineral & Mining Engineering
programme: Earth Science

My experience at the university has been both educational and challenging. While I appreciate the effort made by the institution to provide learning opportunities, I believe it still falls short of meeting the full standards expected of a modern university.

In terms of lecturing experience, some lecturers are committed and knowledgeable, but there is a lack of consistency in teaching quality. Many classes are not well-organized, and lessons sometimes start late or are cancelled without proper communication. In some cases, lecturers do not provide enough practical or research-based learning, which affects students’ understanding and academic growth. The use of outdated teaching materials and limited access to modern technology also makes it difficult for students to keep up with current trends in their fields.

When it comes to administration, the level of professionalism needs serious improvement. Many students experience delays in getting academic records, results, or support services. Communication between departments is often poor, and decision-making processes are slow and unclear.

Overall, the university has great potential, but it needs to improve its teaching standards, management systems and communication to provide students with a better academic experience and meet the full standards of higher education.
