Student Reviews
Better than my previous experience
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
My studies will start in the beginning of October, therefore I can't tell anything about education process, but administration is far more welcoming than in St Petersburg State University, where I studied before
General view
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
It was good experience, sometimes difficult and heavy. I have good memories, but sometimes organisation on my faculty was a little messy.

the curriculum was not very interesting. I gained little new skills, but I highly recommend the university itself.
