It can be better !

No transparency in the rating system, almost a lottery No interest for students coming from the southern neighbourhood . Programme focused almost on eastern neignbours , Professors not always implicated with students (Master thesis supervision) A multicultural programme than can easly turn to a cultral chock An administration that doesn't interact with students, rigid and static with few exceptions However, the programme still really interesting, the campus is really nice and the residences are comfortable and well equiped, Professor & courses of high level

An amazing journey

This academy teaches me a lot. Here the professors are highly ranked and the students have the opportunity to walk through this journey with their role models. The type of teaching is unique in this country. Professors are dedicated to their students and have availability to pay attention to each one. Main focus are the practices, and the practical education is most present. I'm currently on my master degrees here, and I definitely recommend this university!
