University of Craiova (reviews)

First of all, I appreciate this faculty where I learned both the necessary subjects later on professionally as well as many adjacent objects, not necessarily necessary for the field for which we were prepared at that time, but many lessons of life, which I can say that, helped later. Specialist teachers have been very well trained, being recognized at national level. The theoretical notions were very useful and complex combined very well with internships, of which we had much to learn. The seriousness with which we have been treated, but also imposed by the students is to be respected. I followed my career as a teacher of mathematics, after a distribution in the order of the media, on the available positions in that period offered by the Ministry of Education. The thing to be appreciated was that the state provides a job for each graduate of the faculty in the studied field. As far as the internships are concerned, they were carried out within the specialized institutions. The accommodation offered to the students was made in the dormitories of several faculties and the accommodation conditions were acceptable for the time. Each home had a cafeteria that offered fresh food to the students every day.
Student life has been more focused on acquiring knowledge rather than socializing.

I can only talk about a small part of the University of Craiova, Which is the ACE, as a student there. As a freshman there i was not impressed in the beginning. Old building not very well renovated, but improved changed a lot in the years of my studies. It is now a pleasant place to be. The professors are nice and always willing to help. Tho the technologies a little old.__The best part about my faculty is the amount of opportunities we have as students. Weekly there is the presentation of a company, there are a lot of events, workshops, contests and it is almost impossible, as even a medium student, to get at least an internship during the years of studies.__Regarding Student life, there are several students’ organizations to join, which organize parties and soft-skills or educational workshops.

It’s no secret that for the most of local high school graduates, University of Craiova stands as a second choice (or emergency plan in case of failed admission elsewhere) for their further studies. ____That’s mainly because of the obsolete and irrelevant curricula, professors’ indifferent attitude towards their students and a general feeling that the whole place is dying.____Are there any career prospects then? Yes. For those who can and are willing to study on their own, local companies are more than happy to accept undergraduates as their employees.

While the facilities are not that great, the professors and the international programmes offered within the university make up for it. Outside of the usual Erasmus programmes and “Work and Travel”, there are lots of other opportunities to get into, such as international internships and EESTEC.
