They use curveball grading here
Academic modules can be tough to score with grade ceilings built-in (mandated by school management). Professors are generally helpful, responsive to emails and consultation sessions outside of class-time. Campus life is self-organized, most social clubs and student organizations were set up by students on their own initiative.

Hybrid day-time
I really liked this university, the best thing is that you can mix your job with studies, because lectures are realised remotely on teams, and laboratories are in school. There isn't that much of a useless stuff you usually get when applying to public studies, so u can save the time and work in between.

Disappointed by the Change in Schedule
Apart from one glaring fact, I have been satisfied with my education at SAN ?�d? so far. The glaring fact is that I enrolled in an ONLINE program, which was supposed to take place in the evenings on weekdays, but in my third year, this was changed without asking anyone for permission, and now I have lectures every other Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On weekdays, I still have classes in the evenings.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2025. Universities with a score above 4.0 (out of 5) in any of the 7 award categories, receive Badges of Excellence. Congratulations!
