Practical and modern

Overall, i would rate programme at SWPS positively. What stands out the most is the practical approach to lerning. Many lectures have real professional expierience and often explain topics throhu examples from thier field, not only through theory or slides. The atmosphere is modern, open and quite relaxed, wich makes it easier to feel comfortable as a student. I also like that the university encourages independent thinking and discussion. However the organization could be better, especially considering the tuition fees. Some classes feel more useful and better prepared than others.
