Great integrated master program

Very interesting subjects. Some professors just don't want people to graduate anymore

Class cancellations frustration

Overall it is a good university with many different available areas of study that can fit many different students. A negative regarding the university in Sindos was the cancellation of some classes without previous notice, showing that sometimes it wasn't very well organised.

Review of International Hellenic University

The Department of Food Science and Technology offers a fascinating study program with great potential for learning and exploring various fields within Food Science. However, it is unfortunate that some professors in the department seem unwilling to actively engage in teaching or support students in truly understanding their future profession. This lack of commitment can hinder the academic growth and motivation of aspiring food scientists.
