“Research-based university with well equipped labs and learning ammenities”
Kitonga M
Netherlands,
Chemistry, 2024
OverallThe course is rigorous, arduous yet tailored to ensure success in lab work. Although experiments must follow the prescribed protocol to get the desired results, I was encouraged to think outside the box and propose a different methodology. In the final year, my research project was "Determination of Calcium and Zinc elements in ground Coffee" No protocol was given. I had to use my research and analytical skills learned.
The university foster research-minded orientation in students challenging them to use their imagination and thinking ability. The teachers are great. Occasionally, they were not always right in certain research processes and were happy to receive opinions from students.
