I completed my part-time studies in branding at the University of Wrocław and overall I had a positive experience, although not without reservations. I really liked many of my classes, but a large portion of them covered very similar topics, which made the programme feel somewhat repetitive. There were a few genuinely inspiring courses with strong, knowledgeable professors, but also several that felt like fillers rather than meaningful academic content – and unfortunately, the truly valuable ones were in the minority.
Because I studied part-time, I didn’t get to experience campus life or the community aspect very deeply. What I appreciated, however, was the attitude of the lecturers: they were understanding and flexible, allowing me to arrive late or leave early when necessary, as I travelled two hours by train to Wrocław for each session. Their approachability and expertise were definitely the strongest elements of the programme.
I still managed to meet some great people, many of whom I’m still in touch with. I also appreciate that several lecturers stayed in contact with me after graduation, which shows their genuine interest in students’ development.
