Course recommendations
The courses are not as good, you pass them but still they are lacking in many areas. The program's name attracts students but the content repel employers.

Personal comments
If you have to take the program, don't listen to what they advestise and tell you. The program is a loser in the job market every where, contact the alumini and make sure of what I say. Promises are there, action is directed towards local students only.

I had the best experience in my life while I was studying at the University. I got to meet lovely classmates who supported and empowered me throughout the time. I met several lecturers and professors who provided the highest quality of teaching. To sum it up, I enjoyed a lot and learned so much during my master degree.
