Student Reviews
Review of AVT Studies at SWPS
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Most of the instructors were well prepared to teach but not all.
Top design university of Poland
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The university allows to try different disciplines, discover various design methods and learn from practicing professionals of the industry. However the strongest drawback would be administration and organisation of the studies, abundance of burocratic procedures in communication with deans office and relatively weak design community.
