The faculty members are not only knowledgeable but also supportive, fostering an engaging learning environment. The campus facilities are modern and conducive to both study and collaboration.

I appreciate the opportunities for personal and professional growth that my university has provided, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a quality education.
Short review of my university
This univeristy offers very good education in the field of Industrial Design Engineering, the professors are professional but also very kind and understanding. The university also has well equipped laboratories and up to date and modern equipment. But also a few professors speak only basic level english and they prefer not to use english even in the english courses with erasmus students. The canteen of the university has very delicious food with different meniu everyday and the prices are super low (2-3 euro a meal). The accommodation is very cheap as well but the rooms could be cleaner.
