We are proud of: Patrik Bartók – Student of Computer Science Operational Engineering BProf who was the winner of the Linguistics and Informatics Section of the Institutional Scientific Student Conference:
“The reason why I chose KJU was because I liked what they offered within the bachelor course. My ideal university is an institution which has highly experienced lecturers, who are knowledgeable, who focus on their students’ demands and not just pass on the theory. The courses and the contents offered a KJU are not similar to anything I have experienced before, the theories are not based on the timetable or certain textbooks, they are tailor-made to each student. Thus, we are not just studying in a repetitive mode where theory and practical studies are occurring. On the contrary, we are working individually and in teams to carry out different projects, and at each step we communicate and update our lecturers for improvements and there is always feedback for further developments. Whenever we need assistance in our studies, or if we have any questions, the lecturers are always available and helpful!”
