My first year was excellent there, there are a lot of friends you can make and the professors really do help us. I remember going to class and joking about random things with them. The exams are pretty simple because you learn from the class, you don’t need pretty much anything when you have people like these around you.
View moreThe proposed subjects are quite good and there are a lot of interesting extra-activities but a student only has enough time to study for an exam he already knows he will fail, because the wonderful teacher decided to change subjects with ones that are not covered by what he has taught, so in order to finish the Politechnica University of Bucharest you already need to have finished any university like MIT, Stanford or Harvard, everything else in the eyes of Bucharest teachers is worthless.

If for you it matters to understand something, you can say that they failed on what a teacher means.

The Polytechnic University of Bucharest is suitable for those who want to develop both personally and professionally; it is the institution with a campus where it is easy to get lost, but you don’t get bored; is the place where I made friends from the first week and where I found a variety of possibilities I did not expect: student associations, job fairs, company presentations, workshop and training events, but also dedicated events entertainment, such as film nights organized by associations, the festival and occasional parties.
It is also a place that offers career guidance, some teachers are also involved in projects for students (technical visits, competitions, etc.), Erasmus mobility and, contrary to public opinion, enough time for passions and socialization.

View moreIt’s pretty decent but we could have better conditions regarding dormitory because a lot of them are old. Also, most of the teachers are old and use old methods when teaching and you can’t really learn.
View moreWe are learning lots of things theoretically but we should make exercises in order to use our knowledge and to see what’s like to be an actual engineer after you graduate from university. I think we need more opportunities to affirm ourselves as students.
View moreOverall, this university is the best place to start a prosperous career, but many things need to change. The young professors have a fresh view about new strategies for making students understand better theoretical concepts, but at the same time, older teachers have a slightly backward vision that limits student development. At my faculty(Biomedical Engineering), there is no interest for developing laboratory’s infrastructure, classrooms and buildings are dilapidated and in the winter could be very cold. However, this is not the case on the large campus of the University, where the green space and the rehabilitated buildings offer a fresher vibe. The University canteens and the library are very big pluses.

The teachers are of high quality and help the students to appreciate the academic environment in which they belong.
In the beginning I wanted to apply to med school but I was not accepted. I ended up joining UPB an I don’t regret anything. It was one of the best experiences I ever had, awesome community, professors and facilities. It is always in a constant change and every time you can find anything new and interesting.
