ACADEMIC
by playmobil, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany
International Relations, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
the quality of courses differ a lot, even within the same faculty. I strongly recommend to attend classes given by visiting professors at the school of business and economics. In general the courses are quite small and challenging. Jyväskylän Yliopisto is the countries' leading alma mater in the fields of sports and education. Here are some courses I recommend from different faculties. management of winter sports, theoretical and methodological aspects of the social sciences of sports, environmental management,INTOPIA (business simulation), Intercultural Communication and of course all FINNISH courses for foreigners.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The Finnish language courses should be either in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid overlapping with other courses. Courses that are announced in the course directory should actually take place! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Management Science, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If you are studying Sport Management then choose the Winterschool which is a really good seminar!!! Good teachers and interesting! If you can avoid Sport Marketing (just the lecturer from England!)cause it´s everything except Sport Marketing...Another thing : avoid "Philosophy of Competitive Sport" (too sleepy!) but you should take Practicum Ball Games because it´s a really good means to learn finnish sports!

Course recommendations:
Try to find courses with good lecturers (You should aks the local students). I had one course where the lecturer just sad down behind an overhead projector, talking really slowly and even chewing gum while giving the lecture... you should try to avoid such a course :O)

Management Science, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Very often courses are organized in a very short period of time (1 or 2 weeks..sometimes even 2 or 3 days!). Also quite often courses overlap each other...so you have to choose which one you're taking.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
It would be good for students if the university could organize the timetables of the courses in a way that they wouldn't be overlaping all the time. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Especially visiting international teachers give very good opportunity to appreciate the originality of the lectures. Even if it is not complusory to survive in finland, try to learn finnish. People know how to speak english but will appreciate your motivation.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If some courses you are interested in and they are not available in english, ask to the teachers, most of the time they try to make you pass the course through "book examination".The reading material available is really good usually and quite interesting.
