Student Reviews
Not worth it
Anonymous rated 1 out of 5 stars
Low quality education, extremely heavy schedule which doesn't let you study other subjects (so if you are neurodivergent, it might become a torture for you), faculty literally wants to fail as much student as possible. They are not friendly with the students.
Do not come to Warsaw University of Technology
Anonymous rated 1 out of 5 stars
The experience was horrible. Professors DO NOT care about you. All the stuff they promise about international diversity and cultural exchange and what not- nothing EXISTS! It's nothing but a crappy university. They boast to be the best in Poland. Understand this! They are not good. It's the others that are way too bad! Do not come here!!!!!
