Hi everyone
I’m planning to apply for the BSc in Mathematical Foundations of Data Science at the University of Vienna, and since the program started recently, I believe some of you have already completed the first semester.
I would really love to hear about your actual experience so far.
I’m not from Europe, so I’m especially interested in how studying there works in practice.
Some questions I have
How difficult was the first semester?
What subjects did you have, and which ones were the hardest?
What were the exams like (more theoretical, proofs, problem-solving, or programming)?
How are lectures and exercises organized?
What does a typical weekly schedule look like?
How heavy is the workload?
Is it manageable or very intense?
How supportive are professors and tutors?
Any surprises (good or bad) during the first semester?
If you’ve already passed the first semester, I’d really appreciate any honest feedback
Thank you in advance
