Rijksuniversiteit Groningen

I'm currently enrolled in a master's in Writing, Editing and Mediating at RUG, and it's everything I had hoped for. Great practical information and a career-focused approach.

The teachers are very limited in their competences, there is no room for independent thoughts even at more independent levels of education (you are supposed to recite what you learned in one and only one course, you are not allowed to combine knowledge from different courses OR you are to replicate other's studies, forget about creating your own). The professors are all very young and disinterested in your progress, their main aim is to earn money to further their own research and academic progress. There is too much emphasis on theoretical knowledge and research skills. The University offers literaly no marketable skills. Some professors are also speak very bad English and the administrative staff is just as lazy as it gets. A horror!
