I have only been using the classroom n I like the interiors WORST IN THE NETHERLANDS I agreed to pay this in exchange for education and courses, in order to learn something relevant to my professional career. I have paid and been through a whole year and I concluded that I have learned next to nothing relevant throughout the year. I believe that they have not fulfilled their end of this agreement and they have wasted my money, time and mental well being. The attitude of superiority that some adopt when talking to students. Some treat their disrespectfully, like children. A large quantity of assignments and exams that lack the knowledge to complete. There is too much information crammed in a single block with no regard to the student’s capacity to digest this information. High expectations in regard to the student’s prior knowledge, expectations which are not disclaimed beforehand. The information was aimed at people with prior experience in programming from the very start, those with no prior experience had to spend a lot of time catching up, time which was taken from other or assignments. In the second block they had to offer extra programming because a lot of did not pass the programming exam. Poor overall organization and lack of information for students. A good example of this is the brochure we received during the introduction week. This brochure stated that have the option to choose from three majors in the second year (Visual Design, Game Design, Interaction Design). This was a case of misinformation because only the Game Design major is available in English. This was only stated in the English version of the University’s website. The Brochure was fully in English and it did not mention the above stated fact. Teachers are inexperienced and unprofessional and some of them lack English language expertise. For some it is possible to get a Missed Opportunity for simple grammar mistakes. This would be completely normal if the itself would respect these criteria. They do not, course slides are sometimes poorly translated with grammar mistakes and some are combined with Dutch sentences/words this applies for e-mails that receive as well. As stated above, some have way too much information which is presented in a sub-optimal way and it is hard to understand, digest and remember. Most are treated as “numbers”, and this is the case because the accepts anyone that applies and later on they start systematically failing students. To quote one of our teachers, “any idiot can come study here”. In some courses, the go through the slides and then suggest that we watch YouTube tutorials. I have a problem with this for two reasons: firstly, I am not paying this amount of to be told to watch tutorials and secondly, I taught two of my classmates how to use Adobe Illustrator (knowledge which I had before coming to this University) close to the deadline. Both of them said that the were uninformative and not educational. We are required to purchase materials for almost every module, we do receive student discounts but given the fact that some materials are used for a very short time and then never touched again, I find this counterproductive. Some miss and they are usually not rescheduled. The best example of this is our business course, where our teacher was absent for multiple weeks due to health issues and the were not held. It is not easy at all to achieve a passing grade. There is a very large amount of expectations that we are supposed to meet, and this would not be a problem if the overall education that we received was not sub-par. Most receive Missed Opportunities from the very beginning of the year because of this dress code and referencing system. I have talked to my classmates and most of them have said that they feel the same way as I do, disappointed and unmotivated. UPDATE: They didn't contact me yet and nothing has been done about my situation. Pathetic! As a father, following my visit to the campus, I observed that the CMGD course facilities are impressively well-equipped. I had the pleasure of meeting the students, and I was struck by their high level of motivation in class. Some were deeply engrossed in their own individual projects. The atmosphere was conducive to learning, with a palpable sense of contentment among the students, who were all gracious in sharing their experiences. The ongoing construction and renovations on the building demonstrate a commitment to maintaining the premises, indicating a that is well-updated and cared for in this charming town. Don't come to this university!! The way are treated is unacceptable.There is very a high level of corruption within the lecturers. They don't teach at this university. SAVE YOUR and look for a better institute with a better level of education. The education is by far extremely bad and the lecturers are reluctant to change their teaching methods. Plus it's one of the most unprofessional universities I've been to. I initially chose it to because I thought it would be better choice than RUG but I was mistaken. Terrible University, draining out from students. Lecturers are arrogant and not accepting projects from and asking to pay again and again for submissions and draining out from students. Someone should take action on this university.Many are suffering - they lost their whole money. Not at all recommendable. Terrible. I completed my minor here over two months ago and I had to fight the to put my grades in, I still have not received my certificate saying I completed my minor and the have been ignoring my emails for months. Ridiculous, unfair to students, not run efficiently at all and not worth spending the on. Don't aplly in this they will change the number of people they want to accept in the last month when ypu have to send all the leraning agreements etc, eventhough they change it after you request to enter in the you will not be able to go because of that change The worst place to choose for your studies! There is an enormous lack of organization in everything some of the have a low level of English and lack professionalism. The Study Abroad in the 3rd Year is horrible—the allocation of the from the Marketing Management program is based on a random selection. Even though, they say to you that there is no way that you do not get any of your 5 choices, there is. In fact, this was the case for a lot of people they choose a complete different location/university for you and then you either accept it or do a minor in The Netherlands. If you are planning to go study abroad I would definitely recommend choosing a different university.
