It explained all the aspects of social work and how to be a social worker, with 2 6-month practices. Although the teachers could be more interested about the students and not be so ignorant.
Compared to other Greek institutions Democritus University of Thrace was sufficiently clean and well preserved. However, the curriculum was outdated, teachers weren’t helpful and opportunities were not given.
Doe facility�s are good, but most them are Alf and have been replaced it years, like the computer that we use me the devices for labs. Classes, Wi-Fi stuff are ok. Campus is now getting renovated which is good but still the only do the bare minimum, there is a lot of space for improvement. Professors are educated enough but have a lot attitude. Uni restaurant is baaaad. Especially the one in the dorms, we skip going most of the days cause the food is almost uncooked or gross
