After many years spent learning general knowledge at school, I was really glad to be finally able to choose a subject from the area of my interest. I wanted to gain useful skills that could be used in practice. The decision to study Data Management at the University of Lodz turned out to be a great idea. The programme itself consists of both mathematical subjects and computer science. That is exactly what I was looking for. However, it is only the beginning of my adventure with Data Management. It requires a lot of effort and hard work to fully benefit from the lectures and exercise lessons. The location of the University is a huge advantage. Overall I am quite content with my choice so far. If you are keen on science, then I would highly recommend taking the University of Lodz into consideration while searching for a potential college.
