Curriculum and Way of teaching

The university itself is a little outdated technology wise, but stands out in the material being taught and the methods utilized to do so, the professors are very informative and knowledgeable while maintaining professionalism. Its a vast university in terms of size and lecture halls and also grants you a great diploma at the end of the road.
