My Education

I'm currently studying Translation and Interpreting (English) and I'm quiet satisfied with the education.

The university is not academically strong

iCLA offers variety of interesting courses on culture, economics, politics and etc. However, the overall level of education is not strong. The professors are great and knowledgable, but they often had to compromise for a generally weak student body. The social life of the university demotivated academic success.On campus there were always issues between students, and the environment was quite toxic. Most degree seeking students wanted to graduate as soon as possible, and stated that their expectations for iCLA were not met. I enjoyed my time only because I was lucky with neighbours and traveled outside of campus a lot.
