Academic
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.

Interaction with international students
Interaction with local students
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.
