Student review [#103621] for International Business Management
at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences

I enrolled in this programme in 2018 because I was unsure about the direction I wanted my career to take. Now, five years after graduating, I realise how strongly it shaped the professional I am today.

I currently work in a managerial position at a high-level golf course in Spain, welcoming players from more than 50 nationalities and leading a culturally diverse team. The programme taught me to recognise and understand cultural differences, giving me the awareness and skills to manage this diversity effectively.

The value of the programme extended far beyond the classroom. The teachers were always approachable and willing to support students before, during and after their classes. I particularly remember one teacher taking the time to advise me on how to manage a team member during an assignment. That personal guidance became one of the most valuable experiences of my time as a student.

Even five years after graduating, I remain in contact with some of my teachers and regularly ask them for course materials. Only now, as I encounter real managerial challenges, do I fully appreciate the value of what we were taught. My only regret is that I did not concentrate more at the time, I might have been a few steps further ahead today.

After two years in a managerial role, I would gladly and enthusiastically take the programme again. I now have the professional experience to understand its lessons more deeply and apply them even more effectively in my daily work.

I highly recommend this programme to any student who aspires to build an international career.
