A University With Real Opportunities

My experience at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (UTCN) was an intense but very valuable one. The professors are well-trained and passionate, and many courses have direct applicability in industry. A great advantage of UTCN is the collaboration with local and international companies, giving students access to internships and real projects. The campus is not very large, but the laboratories are well-equipped. Although Cluj-Napoca is an expensive city for students, there are many part-time job opportunities. Some classrooms could be modernized, but the university is constantly investing in improvements. The student community is active, and the city has a vibrant social life. UTCN is an excellent choice for those who want a solid technical education and a well-defined career after graduation.
