Quite a good university with a bit messed up Computer Science course

The facilities of the school of computing are great - very modern building, newest equipment, campus located in the city centre (most likely you don’t need to commute there by metro or a bus). One major thing however that is lacking is the organisation. Being a third-year student I still have the same feeling - the program is written very chaotically. In 2019 there was that revolution of the programme (to keep learning the newest technology) to which lectures and demonstrators still feel a bit unadapted. I hope this will get better in the next year or two years. However, after that time, the taught technology may change again (which is good) and it will take another couple of years for the lecturers to be fluent in what they teaching (which is not good).
