Educational psychology- rewarding but demanding

Studying Educational Psychology at the University of Calabar has been a fulfilling experience. The lecturers are knowledgeable and committed to their students’ success, and the course content is very relevant to real-life applications in education. I particularly enjoyed how the programme combines theory with practical approaches to understanding human learning and behavior. On the downside, administrative processes can sometimes be slow, and facilities like libraries and internet access could be improved. The workload is also quite demanding, but it pushes you to stay disciplined. Overall, I would recommend this programme to anyone passionate about psychology and education. It’s not always easy, but the knowledge and skills gained are worth it.

A foreigner student in AUPET

The educational process is just fine; a university is an excellent option for people who speak Kazakh or Russian natively; I enrolled in 2019 in a complete English-based education, and let me briefly explain how each year went. The first year was challenging because the university did not provide a preparation year, so it was tough. The second year was somehow more accessible since we had already gotten used to the languages and started icebreaking. The third year was great. We could handle everything related to studies. In the fourth year, which is the current year, I'm having a serious problem related to the writing of the graduational diploma since most of the process isn't ready to handle international students. As I said previously, the university is excellent for Kazakh and Russian native speakers. But be ready to handle a lot of paperwork, and most of the time, you won't be able to write the "statement" or "application" in Russian. It's "заявление."

My Experience At Arthur Jarvis

I have been a student of Arthur Jarvis University for close to a year,I transferred from a public University down here cause of all the drawbacks our public education system has. So my few months in this new environment hasn't been as great as I thought it would,the education and teaching is really top tier but where the school fails to impress is lack of other means of entertainment for her students,there's literally nothing else to do rather than sports in the evenings,no events of any kind and a lot of restrictions. It makes staying on campus really boring and tiring. Hopefully things would change in the nearest future.

Teaching

This university has high standard lecturers/professors who have passion in teaching. They teach and carry all students along irrespective of your capacity or zeal in studies. I would like to recommend this school to students who want to come out doing well in life and feeling proud about their school.
