Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań - UAM
speciality: Biological Sciences

The Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan aims to instill a strong sense of respect for law and order among its students through the implementation of strict coordination and maintenance protocols. By establishing these procedures, the institution entrusts students with the duty of upholding order within the university while also emphasizing the importance of respecting these fundamental principles. It takes pride in providing a meticulously structured curriculum and a range of facilities to ensure that students have the necessary resources and environment for effective learning. This approach not only empowers students to contribute to maintaining order but also cultivates a culture of discipline and responsibility within the university community.

A few years after completing my undergraduate education at Iowa State University in the United States, I applied for and was accepted to the Biotechnology MS program at UAM, to be carried out in the English language. I have found the program and the city of Poznań in general to be satisfactory, with small class sizes to allow for personalized clarifications of assignments if need be. My biggest complaint, though, is that there is some lack of organization and I have had issues communicating with the university at times, particularly during the admissions process. However, I have found that having open email correspondences with admissions faculty helps greatly in that department.

Adam Mickiewicz University based in Poznań offers an exciting academic expedition brimming with life amidst its urban surroundings. An influential faculty body, varied program offerings catering to various interests and research focus combine as pillars of support for intellectual stimulation, appreciation of diverse cultures and arming students with tools to succeed in a globalized society.

I recommend studying at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan because of the good treatment I have received as an Erasmus student. It is an affordable university, close to the center, with highly qualified teachers, infrastructure and adequate equipment, which offers many facilities to learn even in times of pandemic. It seeks to encourage creativity and free scientific research in students, as well as an approach to continuous improvement. They try to create a pleasant environment for students, especially newcomers, thanks to staff in charge of guiding and helping them at all times. It is also interesting to note that most professors know how to speak English, therefore many subjects are taught in that language and can be chosen by international students, since Polish is not easy to learn.
