Great program in prestigious university!
Andriani rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent program, taught entirely in English (except language lessons) with a diversity of nationalities and group projects are favored (the subjects of group work are very interesting). Lectures are done in a small group of students (around 20) and the lectures' subjects result to a well rounded Bachelor degree.
Great School but big
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The school is quite big with 1000 students per year but it makes the student life very pleasant. Lot of associations and things to do. The teaching is great, and the school is well equipped.
