Strong university

Overall
TPU is a very strong university, but latest structural changes are leading to uncertain consequences in terms of scientific leadership of this university. For somebody who can deliberately select his courses, TPU can become a superior hub, but if one is taking a pre-defined 4 or 5 years program, he shall be ready to attend a plenty of unnecessary lectures, which are actually distracting students' focus from the core courses of the program.
