Course recommendations
yes, make sure your english is very good, because the educational system is based on active participation and presentations about the study topics. Many students that don't speak good english have a very hard time adapting. Another thing, if you want have easy classes, dont choose the financial ones, because you'll have to study hard!

yes, final exams should actually evaluate what you learn during the course, instead of just testing how good you can memorize articles and authors. Final exams should target analysis, not memory! this is not highshool!

ERASMUS students are considered as the regular students. They don't take into account for your grade the fact that exchange students can have some difficulties in english! So you have to work a lot to pass your courses

The university has implemented the problem base learning for most of its courses. It is very different and can be difficult for exchange student (lots of powerpoint presentation, research paper...)

Course recommendations
The level of the courses is very high! Very good language skills are crucial to follow the courses without major problems and a realistic chance to pass the exams. Furthermore exchange students have the same rights and duties as regular students, so there is absolutely NO "exchange student" bonus! But the quality of the courses is very good and most of the contents are interesting.

Problem-based learning is rewarding experience, but depends on the the level of course coordinator, the general participation degree and some other contigencies, such as the president's ability to lead a meaningful discussion etc.

Try to participate as much as you can in the group meetings. Don't let everything for the last minute, try always to prepare your classes

Investigate about them, cause the names don't always match the real subject. If you choose well... you will be more than happy.

Be sure to have good english, and don't be shy, teachers love when you participate... and if you don't they will let you know they are disappointed.
