University Politehnica of Bucharest - UPB (reviews)

Studying Medical Engineering at UPB has been a mixed experience. While I’ve had the chance to learn and grow in a demanding field, the journey has been full of frustration, disrespect and disappointment caused by major issues in the system.
One of the most upsetting moments was during my final exam, when the committee announced my final grade as 9.50, only for the platform to later show 9.49, due to a rounding policy that was never clearly communicated. I was told “this is how the system works,” and no one took real responsibility for the confusion.
Throughout the years, I’ve met young, motivated professors who truly care and do their best to teach and support students. But sadly, I’ve also encountered professors who grade unfairly, ignore students, and treat teaching with disinterest or even contempt. These issues are well known by the faculty leadership, but nothing changes. The general message is “get over it and move on.”
If you’re strong, self-motivated, and ready to push through a lot of noise and discouragement, you can still succeed. But be prepared: you’ll often feel that respect, fairness, and academic integrity are optional – not guaranteed.
I wish things were better, because the students deserve more.

I would highlight the amount of work that a student must do . It is hard to stay motivated and not lost, but besides that teachers are trying to provide the best quality of education.
What I do like the most about this university is my classmates , who are always friendly and connected with each other !

This is one of the most prestigious university in the country, but one of the hardest. Here you learn a lot of things like: time management, to socialize and most important: if you don’t put in the work, you can’t succeed! Those are the basic things an adult should know, and here you learn them!

I like that it organises a lot of events for all the students (career fairs, competitions, company visits, etc.). The experience of having your faculty in a very big campus is also great and the academic part is very intense.
