Master degree 2008-2010

I studied my master degree at Aalborg University from 2008-2010. It was the first time my master degree was offered and as always; a new education can struggle to find its feet. So it was very broad topics with the notice; that you could become anything you liked. I had to find my own path in this, but I like the fact that you are able to impact and create your own expertise within a broad field through the semester Projects and problem-based learning. It wasn't as hard as I had imagined (coming from a different type of education). I liked the freedom and requirement of independence that the program offered. I had a good experience; I know that program I studied have developed a lot since then and I think it has been for the better; some of the structure and topics we lacked are now a part of the program.

Aarhus Bss review

First of all, the university is nowhere near as international as it portrays itself to be; there are less international students than you would expect. In terms of the teachers, I can honestly say I had one good teacher per semester. The others ranged from bad to completely unprofessional. Also with the planning of exams and classes, it sometimes made me wonder how the people behind this can be a part of the management department. However, on the bright side, I did like the idea of working in study groups and having to do all sorts of projects - that helps with the practical aspects of teaching. Another thing that I'd praise is the cafeteria, as they offer fresh and diverse food.
