Yazan Munjed Shafeeq Al-Saif rated 4 out of 5 stars
I like how most of our studies are built on a mixture of lectures, teamwork, presentations, and project management. That gives you the feeling of the real life experience and prepare a you for the future. Classes might not be very hard but it's difficult to get top grades. Who want to be an average student though?

I'll recommend it to everyone

It is an amazing university, good community, good teachers and courses. All in all, I am satisfied with it. However, they can modernize the materials of the courses and make them more practical than theoretical.
