I studied level 1 and 2 in business German, this helped me to communicate with basic German. It also have me the will to continue my German studies in Australia. Austrian Students were always willing to talk a bit of German with me and help me improve it.

OverallYou get so much homework but none of it will be graded so you won't know if anything what you did is correct or not but you will get graded if you dont do it. Everything is confusing, the professors dont know how to teach (most of what I know at the moment I have learnt from Indian people on youtube explaining the whole subject in 30 mins in broken english), some classes go untill 22:00 on fridays, a lot of VOs are not streamed or recorded but if they are recorded or streamed the quality is absolute garbage. This is a CS university; they should be ashamed.
