Student review [#18438] for Language for Intercultural Communication
at University of Belgrade

I am studying at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade, majoring in Arabic. The department is very poorly organized, the professors are not interested. Too much material is covered and a lot of independent work is needed. In the first year of studying we go through too easy things in class, while in the second year we start with much harder things and it is difficult to achieve all that because the jump is huge. Online teaching is a disaster, too much information, lecture after lecture and a lot of homework. Also, as our former professor, who was, among other things, the head of the department, says, “we are not educating you here to agree on the streets of Cairo with the sellers, but to translate.” If I were to write something again, it would certainly not be a philological course, and especially not a course in Arabic language and literature. Life in Belgrade is good, I live in an apartment with a roommate who pays € 200, and she means a total of € 400. I am also happy with the nightlife. The faculty is located in a great location, in the city center. The student canteen is close to the college, the food is great and very affordable. The possibilities after finishing college are diverse if you ask me, someone might work as a translator, someone as a flight attendant, but he will go somewhere over, everything is as it is. My idea is to go to a master of digital marketing in Europe and after finishing it I try to connect it with the Arabic language.
