Sehr empfehlenswert
Die Fächer sind sehr praxisorientiert. Viele Projekte, was im Verlauf des Semesters zwar sehr aufwendig ist, dennoch viel lehrreicher als nur schriftliche Prüfungen am Ende des Semesters + Hfwu hat sehr sehr gute Dozenten! Der Studiengang ist komplett auf englisch. Hälfte der Studierenden kommen aus dem Ausland, man lernt somit neue Freunde aus anderen Ländern kennen + kann seine interkulturellen Kompetenzen Steigern.
