But behind the numbers, what do students say about their experience at an American university in Europe? We’ve highlighted some student reviews for Schiller to give you an idea.
Bachelor’s Student in International Relations and Diplomacy
I would recommend this university for people who would love to get both American and UK degree and you could live in 4 different countries(Spain, Germany, France and the US). I personally studied in Madrid. My experience was very pleasant, the teachers are very nice, always willing to help you. People studying there are also very nice and come from different countries which makes the atmosphere very interesting since you learn a lot about other cultures. Nobody gives you pressure, which makes studying pleasant and doesn’t stress you out all the time. I studied international relations and politics. Professor Shaw was very nice to listen to, taught us a lot. Also what I liked a lot is that we had many different classes such as economics, business, language classes, which is very diverse. The campus was quite small when I studied there 3-4 years ago but now I think they expanded it and now have a big campus. I am quite satisfied about my experience there, so would recommend this university to others.
Master’s Student in International Relations and Diplomacy
I like it the staff is helpful, and it’s organized too. The courses were good and I think the quizzes and midterms, and final tests proved to be linked with the reading assignments. I also think that the instructors were very helpful.
Bachelor’s Student in International Business
I feel that it is a great opportunity and for Americans to travel and study abroad to expand multicultural and perspectives.
This being the fact that we Americans can get some tuition assistance.
My experience with professors that have practical and enduring experience in their respective fields, plus ongoing activity in external organizations that impact my career area.
