Hello everybody, hope your
studies are going well so far and you are enjoying.
Well, there are many things
that I can say about my experience here in Padua, but I will try to be as
concise as possible by mentioning some of the key elements that I think are
important to be taken into account for those who want to come here for their
second year.
The University, in terms of
quality of education it is very good and if I am not wrong it is one of the
most known in Italy. The campus it is really nice, and all the people are kind
and will try to help you for everything you need. Our studies have been going
for five months so far, starting on October until the middle of January we have
been having classes and after that the exams. Regarding the courses, I would
suggest having a look on the SUTROFOR website http://sutrofor.eu/universities/padova/second_year/ ,
here you will find more detailed information for all you need. So you will have
an idea in advance what you are going to do.
Currently here in Padua we
are only two SUTROFOR students and more or less it used to be the same number
also in the previous years (small classes). However, this year the Department
has find a solution to this issue, and all the five courses have been done
together with other students from other programs (MEDFOR, SUFONAMA and FES).
Another issue that I would
like to mention is related to the possible thesis topics, there are plenty of possibilities
and during the classes all professors are going to present many thesis topics,
and you will have time to think and to discuss with them. There are many
opportunities for desk- based topics and also for going for field work in different
developing tropical countries, it is up to you to decide in the end, and this
related also to you aim and background.
In the end I would like to
say that life in Padua it is very nice. The city it is very nice, people are
very kind and social, many nice things to see and visit in the city, and also
from here you have the chances to go and visit other cities that are near to
Padua like Venice. In addition, I am sure that all of you have heard about
Italian food, I can say only came and taste it. In general, I like to be
here and I would recommend the others too. In case someone needs more detailed
information about everything what happen here, please contact me.
One last thing, I would like
also to apologize for the inconvenience with my previews post. It has a long
story behind and still I am not so clear how that post ended there, my
apologies.
Cheers,
Spartak
