BEST PLACE FOR ME
The school combined business and data science which is exactly what I wanted. Nothing has to be improved overall because each student is given importance, in my class there are 20 students so it is easier for the teachers to know where you have a problem. I am from Africa and studying here internationally
UMCS is the place to start your studies abroad!
My overall study experience has been quite positive. As I have had many opportunities to participate in volunteering in the UMCS student union government, NGOs and local + international cultural events. I have grown as an individual tremendously and see myself as a world citizen only waiting to start my journey into work.
I did my bachelor's degree here and now I'm pursuing a master's
I think that the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in Lublin is a pretty cool place, as every place has its pros and cons, I can't compare it to other universities because I did my bachelor's and master's degree only here. But I'm grateful for the supportive faculty and diverse academic opportunities it has provided me.
