Reputable, Respected and Recognized world wide

My experience a NUST was a time to remember. I was in the engineering department. Lecturers were always on time for lecturers, and work and assignments were given and marked. I am the engineer I am owing to the dedication by the chemical engineering lecturers. Quality notes and lecturers are given as well as projects supervision and guidance. Even years after I have graduated, they are still available to give letters of recommendation as per request. My degree is recognized everywhere l have been and l recently got accredited as a professional engineer with ECSA based on my experience and academic background. Campus life as an engineering student is quite dull to be honest, best indulge in sports. During my time I took part in Basketball and athletics. They had transport from campus to the practice courts as the university didn't have an onsite basketball court. As for the ZUSA games where we meet with other universities to compete, I give that 1 star as we had to sleep in the bus over a two-day trip. I don't know if that has improved as resources were truly limited
