Review of UPCE
There is great dissatisfaction with the capacity of the school server, as it often happened that during course registration, the server would crash and you could not connect, which resulted in the course you selected being filled up in the meantime, so you had to choose another one that was less suitable for your schedule. The teachers' approach to language teaching was very accommodating, with most adopting a playful approach to teaching and discussing specific current events and topics relevant to the field.
excellent facility
The University of Pardubice offers excellent facilities for students and a high level of education. Right from the start, I was impressed by the friendly environment and open approach of the teachers, who are always ready to answer questions or give advice. The faculty is modern, with well-equipped laboratories and study rooms. Another big plus is that the university supports extracurricular activities and offers a wide range of sports and cultural opportunities. The city of Pardubice is pleasant, with good accessibility and plenty of places to go out with friends. But what excited me the most is the connection of theory with practice - thanks to the university's cooperation with companies, I was able to find a great internship and gain valuable experience. Studying here gave me not only education, but also practical skills for my future career.
