Strong Academic Foundation
In general, our professors were highly professional, approachable, and demonstrated a deep knowledge in their fields. I am genuinely proud to have studied at the Cyprus University of Technology, as it provided me with both academic knowledge and valuable experiences. As a Cypriot student, I found it very easy to adapt to the university environment, and I did not face any particular challenges in settling in.
The only aspect that I believe could have been improved was the lack of a well-established online learning system. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all courses were suddenly transferred online, and although the university made a significant effort to adapt, it was clear that both the institution and the country as a whole were unprepared for such a transition. While the professors and administration tried their best to deliver quality education under those circumstances, there were inevitably gaps in the learning experience.
