Hi everyone!

I’ve recently started my master's in Artificial Intelligence and Automation Engineering at the University of Siena, with a focus on intelligent systems. I was wondering if anyone here has gone through or is currently in this program and can share their experience?

Specifically, I'd love to know:

How are the oral exams conducted? Any tips on preparing for them?

What are the professors like? Are they approachable and helpful?

How challenging is it to achieve high marks? Is it more focused on theory or practical projects?

Any general advice on managing the workload, key subjects to focus on, or other helpful tips for succeeding in this program?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 😊

Not a poll. Please comment your own favorites. Either by name or description. I've only been to Saga.

Hi! I’m a freshman at a different college that is way too big for me and I’m looking for something smaller and closer to home. I know Siena is really small so would it be hard to make friends as a transfer sophomore?
