Malmö University - MAU (reviews)

I’ve never felt a university more visibly straining under budget constraints. Most professors had at least one lecture dedicated to why their subject matters way more than funding committees think it does.

Malmo University provides its students with safe enviornment, I felt listened and taken care of by my professors. The overall staff of the University is well picked. There were few shortcomings in terms of online courses, however the overall experience was great.

Its perhaps one of the worst University experiences ever. I go Graphic Design here. One of the hardest programms to get into and I regret it by a mile. We have no proper working printers and quality paper for our assignments. Our teachers force us to buy their own programmes they are working with and their overpriced books. While the lesson don’t focus on anything manually or artistic. We have for three months now worked with how to write essay and had lectures about philosophy. Graphic design like making posters or website? Little to non. And when we actually have to make a website our teachers refuse to teach us the new program or principles for the assignment. Instead we are referred to YouTube.The general lesson are chaotic with little to non proper planning over the courses. Social aspects of the school is also rather weak. It’s nice the first two weeks when you enter, then ? Nothing, barely any socialising and events.

In my programme, the first semester was the most difficult, but it was also eye opening. Studying at Malmö University entails a lot of independent study and while that worked out great for me, I realise not everyone finds that ideal.
I found the professors to be fair and professional, while the university’s stance on global issues and its administrative part can be lacking at times. However, I found the courses to be very interesting. For example I had multiple courses on the role of civil society, protest, and war from a civilian perspective.
Depending on the programme, there are elective semesters when you can either take any other courses, do an internship or go on exchange studies.
Overall, my studies at Malmö University have been extremely informative.
