Second Chance

My experience at KLU has truly been life-changing. This university has given me a second chance and opened the door to a completely new life filled with opportunities. From the very beginning, it has felt like a second home. What makes KLU so special is the people. Every single person here is supportive and genuinely willing to help. The professors are not only highly qualified and professional, but also approachable and always ready to guide you in any academic or professional matter. I have never been in a place like this before. The strong connection with industry, the quality of events, and the incredible network of classmates and alumni create the perfect environment for both personal and professional growth. I will always be grateful to KLU for everything I have experienced here.

Overall pretty good university... campus life is bit boring though.

The first semesters at HCU started pretty well and entertaining. Studying and working together with a lot of different people was fulfilling. The workspaces for students were quite decent and good enough to have a great time together. The current situation due to COVID has changed the spirit of the university. It doesn't feel like a place to feel comfortable. The university is engaged to offer online courses, which are good for some students but I need a professor to talk to in real life, I need other students to debate with. Hope this will change soon.

Disaster Programme

Throughout my Studies, in the Communication Design Course at this university located in Berlin, I have experienced a lot of problems. The university is very poorly organized, there is constant miscommunication between staff and students. It is very hard to come in contact with the university over email or phone, and most of the time your issue is never resolved. An excuse they often times use, is that they are understaffed, or it’s the students' fault. I think the campus in Berlin is kind of scam, because when applying or looking up this University the only photos you can see are from their facility located in Hamburg. Which is a much nicer facility than the one in Berlin. Definitely visit before signing any contracts. When I joined the university I expected at least one course to provide the necessary skills and information for this course. There was no introductory class for how to use Adobe software, no tutorial classes on any of the skills we needed during our studies. This is very much a do it yourself at home Programme. It is very hard to get help from the staff as they are often very misleading as no information is communicated to them. I have graduated 2 months ago and I still have no received a diploma.

Best Varsity

This was the best Varsity ever. The professionalism is on the high level. I have no dislikes and I highly recommend it to people who are struggling with focus. It's takes special students with disabilities.
