What I particularly liked is that KJU is true, a very student-friendly and student-oriented university. There were only 5-6 people in my group in the master’s program, and the whole thing was even more practical compared to the bachelor’s program. Teachers weren’t strictly focusing on dry knowledge transfer, but rather on how to lead us to the right mindset, to help us think critically and discuss. That is why the master’s program was even friendlier to me. It wasn’t stressful to learn, I did not feel like I had to force information into my brain. I walked into the classroom; we discussed the respective topic and at the end, I came out knowing I gained very useful knowledge – it was the kind of discussion where knowledge was built along with experiences. KJU’s teachers led me to always look at things in a complex way.
