Personal comments

It was very hard for about first month -month and a half but then slowly was able to get into the language. The most essential factor was the ability to practice it with the fellow students. In the university itself, there hardly was any opportunity to use my language knowledge apart from the exams in the end of the semester.

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

Most of the courses are very theoretical, should introduce case studies. More interaction between teachers and students, moreover among students as well by organising group works + teachers being more involved in the course and work process by giving suggestions, recomendations or general evaluations.

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course
