Academic
Course recommendations
The choice of course is very limited. i had to chose courses which do not correspond to my interests as nothing else was available. I had courses which were not well structure with teachers not seeming to understand how they should evaluate the students. The good point is regarding the emphasis which is put on practical work and case studies which permits to apply the theory.

The examination are realised through a very short period of time which is not appreciated by anyone: it does not permit to go deeply into what we have learn and it makes people feel that they do not give a work of quality.
