The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good -The City is small, but beautiful. Since it is small, affordable accomodation is easier to find compared to big cities -The campus is also small, but this gives you an advantage of being able to actively engage with lecturers during classes, which is a rare chance in big schools -Campus facilities are modern -The Academic Staff of my program (MA European Studies) are experts in their fields -There are exchange possibilities -Student life is enjoyable. There are events and parties The Bad -One may get bored in a small institution in a small city -It is usually rainy -The Curriculum concent of my program (European Studies) is poorly designed because the subjects they deal do not have a return in market The Ugly -If you are an high achieving competitive student, this uni is not for u. You will stagnate. -There is not much to do in Flensburg Verdict: EUF is a suitable school for an exchange program, but not worth for a full-time study program. All the students I met either love this uni or hate it. I did not encounter with someone in the middle ground.

Quality

I like the university offers quality holistics world class training that meets the 21st needs. The programmes offered are competitve embedding the technologies, research, innovation and industrial linkages/collaborations

Not great

I found that the overall university experience was not really worth my time and money. Respected professors were only actually lecturing for 1-2 weeks per course, with PhD graduates teaching the majority of the course. Sometimes these PhD graduates weren't able to speak fluent English, which made the learning and teaching actually going on very questionable. In addition to this, you would submit a 3000 word essay, and receive a 15-20 words of feedback. I am certain that very little learning, improvement and education can occur when the feedback loop is so minimal, often generic. In addition to this, many of the "lab" or "tutorial" components were actually university students completing post-graduate experiments as part of their thesis studies. For example, in my psych201 tutorial, we had to spend 2 hours looking at a screen only pressing the "X" or "Z" key a total of 1200 times, and if we did not attend this lecture, we would lose 2% of our total grade. Overall, I question how much education and learning goes on, specifically in the Commerce and Science Faculties. I found my high school classes to go into more depth, with the teachers actually providing many one-on-one conversations to ensure learning is taking place, and this is the learnings that allowed me to pass my first 3 years of papers before any new content was covered, after which, the lectures would have half the class walk out because they couldn't speak fluent english, with students opting to self-teach themselves. If you are requiring students to partake in a study, they must be reimbursed for their time, especially if no learning is taking place. If you are charging students $1000 per course, then the university can afford to pay for staff to assess all of the PHD candidates fluency in English, before they are allowed to teach. In addition, no learning can take place when a question is asked in a foreign language, and the tutor/lecturer replies in a foreign language.
