Technical University of Cluj-Napoca - UTCN Speciality : Computer Science
programme: Automation and Applied Informatics

The curriculum is pretty decent. I think they have way too many classes, but overall they’re not bad. A lot of laboratories and practical experience, which is nice. There are a lot of Erasmus agreements, Bosch teaching their self-driving cars course, entrepreneurship classes. Pretty diverse extracurricular themes.
EUROAVIA was the student association that I loved the most because they had a lot of interesting events. Visiting the Air Traffic Control Tower at Cluj Airport, the military base at Câmpia Turzii or the Airbus maintenance workshop, you have a lot of aviation-related events to go to.

Overall good. The programs are related and can be studied in Romanian or English. It has only engineer related programs hence a minimum of 4 years is needed in order to complete any field you may choose.

My programme (Automation engineering) had a varied array of subjects, so we have received basic knowledge but didn’t go into much depth. It was a good starting point for finding what you liked, but if you wanted to get a job in the field after university, you had to do a lot of studying by yourself. Plus that many courses and subjects were pretty much outdated, or not focused on the current demands.
