Adaptability and flexibility of professors

I would like to say that I enjoyed studying for the past 3 years more than I could've imagined. Having a chance to study different topics in psychology is a fun experience for anyone, let alone someone interested in this field for many years. The thing that stood out the most to me is definitely professors willingness to adapt to students and their interests as well as different popular events in the world. Adaptation would occur in for example offering students an option to do different tasks (presentations, research papers, speeches) that weren't initially planned by curriculum in order for them to gain different skills and acquire knowledge through activities that they found interesting and fun. Except for that, I would like to emphasize professors willingness accept critiques at the end of the semester and to change curriculum for the next semester.

My experience at the UNSA

The architectural faculty of Sarajevo is a place of innovative design and new ideas. Construction and design are blended into the work and thought to students. Subjects cover design, construction, history and theory of architecture, giving students a broad knowledge of everything. Interesting studio themes are concerning themselves with the urban centre of Sarajevo, with real locations used for both architectural and spacial projects.
