Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań - UAM
speciality: Politics

I finished political science studies about 20 years ago. General development studies, but not giving a strong position when applying for any well-paid job that employers would demand more.

Well conducted were the classes on history, things strictly related to political sciences (like theory of politics), but subjects economic and related to methodology of social sciences were weak.”

Adam Mickiewicz University is a solid choice for international students. The professors are knowledgeable, and most speak English well. I liked the libraries and the quiet spaces for studying. Some administrative processes were slow, and communication could be better. I would recommend the university, especially if you are focused on academics and want a calm environment to study.

In my opinion AMU is good place to develop your interests and skills. It gives a lot of opportunities to develop your skills, like science clubs. For example my faculty – Faculty of Political Science and Journalism have clubs for young journalists where students can try their hand at operating a camera or conducting interviews. University provides all necessary equipment. If I had to mention any disadvantages, in my opinion informatical systems of University doesn’t work good enough and are not user-friendly.
Dealing with some matters in the dean’s office may be difficult due to bureaucracy and unnecessary formalities.

I’ve been studying at this university for almost 5 years and I only can speak about the Law&Administration Faculty. Some of the professors are very likable and helpful, but sometimes the classes choice is pretty poor. They seem to just care about filling the gap instead of actually teaching something useful. Also, the organization is really terrible, especially chaotic once you get into the Erasmus exchange programme.
