Student Reviews

Still deciding whether this was my best decision
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars

I would say it was not how it should have been. Lectures had almost nothing in common with labs and seminars, some of the people who were supposed to teach us were in fact less prepared than us. There are plenty of things to say about my disappointments in this university.

good experience
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

i was a good experience and really interesting courses

A good, but demanding technical university
Mara rated 3 out of 5 stars

University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest is the biggest technical university in Romania, reuniting 15 engineering domains. It is a good university, which gives students an exceptional theoretical background, allowing them to work in various engineering domains after graduation. Still, the workload is high and it some more practical experience may be needed. <br><i> Review...
