High quality education/Interesting Modules/

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has been one of the fundamental education poles in my homeland. It has served as a national and global educational and research center for many decades now. Many notable and acknowledged scientists and teachers have graduated from AUTH. As far as the pros are concerned I could highlight the high level of education,nice and equipped labs and libraries, specific and accurate nodules timetable amd schedule and spacy and pleasant university campus. Regarding the cons of this institute, I tend to underline the poor level of communication between the professors and the students (it was a bit difficult to get in touch with the academic staff), and the mediocre level of the electronic platforms and access to open electronic libraries etc.(websites under maintenance, not user friendly student platforms and not very attractive interface)

Ied Barcelona review

I really enjoy the program because of the projects, at IED we don’t have too many theory classes instead we do projects. It’s very interesting because it allows me to be creative while also changing my perspective on design. The university has very nice and good teachers and we have access to very modern equipment.
