what I like about the university is that a lot of students loves it because it meets students halfway. The classes are fun and exciting to attend. The lecturers are friendly and easy to approach when you need help.
A small university, great facilities with good lectures. i was doing software development at had a lecturer called admire. oh he was the worst. he resigned though and was able to graduate. attended graduation without paying my full fees but didnt get my certificate
It's actually a nice university, it has more opportunities and usually give their students experience that they are gonna need in their professional field. I like almost everything about it ,the events and activities provided to learners ??. Our lectures are very friendly and real good when it comes to doing their job and they offer more study materials for learners to be able to understand their work.
