“Master's program is very good, bachelor's program differs from professor to professor”
Philipp B
Germany, Graduate
Engineering, Mechanical, 2023
OverallThe courses are not up to date. There are some professors, who do a really good job and others, who do not at all. All on one campus, which is nice. It is placed in the heart of Berlin
