Student / Alumni Testimonials

Dionysis Malapetsas, M.Sc. Information Security & Computer Forensics graduate

I studied Computing at Metropolitan College, first for the BSc in Computing and then for the M.Sc. in Information Security and Computer Forensics. During my postgraduate studies I met exceptional academics and optimal study conditions that helped me successfully complete my studies. The Master’s course was particularly interesting and opened new horizons for me both academically and professionally.

Themelis Nikolaos, BSc (Hons) Computer Networks graduate

I would like to thank Metropolitan College and its teaching staff, first for the guidance they offered us in matters of Information Technology and second because through the College I started working at a company specializing in an area directly related to a module I studied. Although I specialize in Computer Networks, the programme provided me with fundamental knowledge in algorithm development and object-oriented programming, which, as I now realize, are sine qua non.
