Ilum offers a unique learning environment where students take an active role. The curriculum was carefully planned to shape professionals qualified to carry out the science of the future. Instead of conventional expository teaching, the content is presented through interactive activities that involve debate, problem solving, and digital resources. Hands-on classes use laboratories that are very well equipped and organized, and are based not only on demonstrating equipment and methods but solving scientific problems. Students also have a complete and up-to-date library available to them, as well as access to periodical portals and individual laptop computers.
