Very well organised university,the best professors
I personally think that our courses are interesting and relatable with the object of our department.
Overall a good university. Positively, it attracts significant number of international students due to the English-taught courses that it offers. The quality of the teaching personnel is relatively high with few exceptions. However, scarce connection with the job market still halts its institutional quality. Especially regarding social sciences' tracks.
