Eye opener
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
My time at university of Debrecen was really eye opening and it really developed my scientific skills as I developed the perseverance and skills to work long hours in a laboratory. It also developed my ability to process information in a more systematic way.
My opinion
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Academically, the university is great and gives a lot of chances. Not many students study this program in the university, so it may be a little difficult to find study partners. Also, English isn't very well-spoken by some of the professors.
Most truthful and interesting.
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
It has been awesome so far. The university has provided me with a good experience mainly because aside the theoretical aspect of my course, the school takes their students on educational trips to visit food industries and ensure some courses have the practical aspect of it which makes us more exposed to the real world. Nevertheless, we have a whole week every semester...
