Study process
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I’m working with great creative people, that are always helpful if needed. I think that is good that my program makes people work more independently and by pushing your limits, however a little bit more information or better understanding and explaining about the assignment in the lecture will be great.

The student support for international students is overall good. The study load is a lot and can be stressful and overwhelming sometimes.
