For over 30 years, the educational programs at
FAGIOPM have been supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), thanks to which numerous laboratories and computer labs have been built with German equipment and according to German standards, as well as a well-stocked library with more than 10,000 volumes of textbooks and scientific literature, which receives 20 scientific journals annually. A testament to the quality of education at the Faculty is the fact that all graduates have received German diplomas from the partner universities involved in the program.
